PENALTY LIMITS. RISK TAKING (IN PARTICULAR DRIVING ACCIDENTS)
LES LIMITES DE LA REPRESSION. LES IMPRUDENCES (NOTAMMENT LES ACCIDENTS DE ROULAGE)
The aim of the study is to review the whole of the legislation concerning road traffic, in particular drunken driving, run-away accidents, lack of insurance or driving licence. The notions of offence, guilt and penalty were analyzed and criticized. Imprisonment and fines have been replaced by such measures as the withdrawal of the driving licence. Mention is made of the role of insurance companies in the payment of damages to accident victims. /TRRL/
