机动车行驶安全距离的判断

机动车能否安全行驶,在一定程度上取决于机动车驾驶人掌握行驶安全距离的能力。机动车行驶安全距离是指从发现障碍开始制动,到最后完全停止所行驶的距离,它包含纵向行驶安全距离和横向行驶安全间距。纵向行驶安全距离取决于制动停车距离;横向行驶安全距离应根据路面的不同、气候的变化灵活掌握。由此可见,机动车驾驶人必须根据机动车的行驶速度、道路状况、气候条件、装载状况等因素,灵活掌握机动车的行驶安全距离,以充分保证其行驶的安全性。     

The modern trends in alcohol, drugs and driving research

Research on alcohol, drugs and driving can be broadly separated into experimental and epidemiological studies. Every approach has its inherent advantages and disadvantages. Experimental studies can result in an interpretation by single cause, but can only identify potential risks, and the results can sometimes be of limited value because of the use of non-realistic doses or because of the drug use history or inter-individual differences of the volunteers. Recent studies have used higher, more realistic doses and paid more attention to the combination of alcohol and drugs and have shown that the chronic use of illicit drugs can be associated with some cognitive and/or psychomotor impairment, and can lead to a decrease in driving performance even when the subject is no longer intoxicated.Epidemiological studies include roadside surveys, studies in a subset of drivers, accident risk studies, responsibility analyses, surveys and pharmaco-epidemiological studies. Between studies, results may be incomparable due to testing different populations, different kinds of samples, etc. More large-scale roadside studies are conducted now.Advances in analytical toxicology have also contributed to a better understanding of the risks associated with driving under the influence. While older studies measured the inactive metabolite THC-COOH and did not show an increased risk in cannabis-positive drivers, more recent studies measured the active THC in blood and did show a concentration dependent increase in crash risk. The use of LC–MS/MS has allowed more broad-range screening as this technique can measure many different drugs in a small sample volume. While some older studies used saliva but had many analytical problems (including an insufficient sample volume in up to a third of the cases), newer methods of saliva sampling and analysis give better results. The use of saliva for roadside surveys allows non-invasive sampling, but the lack of correlation with the concentrations in blood makes interpretation of results difficult.The results of both epidemiological and experimental studies should be combined to obtain a good estimate of the impact of certain drugs on driving performance and accident risk. In 2006–07 a committee of international experts drafted guidelines for future research into drugs and driving. These have been taken on board by the DRUID project, a large-scale EU funded project on driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicines.

The Rise of China: The Sustained Development of the World System or the End of It? *

It has been a controversial issue in the past thirty-odd years in academic circles at home and abroad whether China’s economic rise as a unique development model sustains and supplements the world system or brings an end to it. This article makes an analysis of the basic features of the three historical stages of the world system established 500 years ago from the perspective of the relationship between the world system and the rise and fall of countries. The analysis finds that the stages of mercantilism (1500-1750/1800), liberal economy (1800/1850-1914/1945) and mixed economy (1945-2030) were mainly based respectively on “geographical discovery” and “colonialism,” “industrial revolution” and “free trade,” and “economic globalization” and “system innovation.” For the above-mentioned reasons, “geographical discovery,” “international trade and finance,” “science and technology” and “international institutions and mechanisms” are the four fundamental driving forces that the world system has depended on for its existence for 500 years. The world system provided a context for the rise and fall of each individual country in the past 500 years, while the economic success China has achieved in the past three decades mainly benefits from its constant integration into this world system still in existence today. Therefore, the challenge to China in its future development will come, to a great extent, from the world system and its impact on China’s domestic politics, economy and social structure.

Decentralisation and Supply Efficiency: The case of Rural Water Supply in Central India

Demand for decentralisation of provision of public services is gaining ground in developing countries. Also, the policy advice to decentralise given by international agencies to the developing countries is turning into pressure. However, the benefits of decentralisation are not as obvious as the standard theory of fiscal federalism predicts. This article examines the effect of decentralisation of provision of drinking water in central India. The efficiency of water utilities under the control of the state government and those under the local governments is compared in terms of expense and asset utilisation. It is found that the decentralised provision of water supply is less efficient. The possible reasons for this counter intuitive result are analysed.     

对危险驾驶罪的法定刑设置的反思

危险驾驶罪与以危险方法危害公共安全罪、交通肇事罪共同构成维护公共交通安全的刑网体系,但是在法定刑设置上,对危险驾驶罪判处拘役并处罚金与上述两罪并不协调,也存在漏洞;罚金和拘役功能相同,并处罚金不能实现特殊预防,应增加1年以下有期徒刑和轻微危险驾驶肇事行为的刑罚配置,同时就危险驾驶的结果加重犯单独作出规定,以便与相关条文相协调。     

危险驾驶罪疑难问题再探讨

危险驾驶罪实施对于减少和控制醉酒驾驶等危险驾驶犯罪发挥了重要作用,但是,由于本罪的规定存在不足并缺少相应的司法解释,导致司法实践中出现了不少问题。为解决这些问题,本文将从四个方面进行论述,第一部分危险驾驶罪的概述,第二部分着重探讨危险驾驶的内涵,第三部分重点论述醉酒驾驶的认定,第四部分针对本罪行为类型不完善提出相应的完善建议。     

危险驾驶罪之醉酒驾驶的立法完善

《刑法修正案（八）》明确将危险驾驶入罪。危险驾驶罪包括＂追逐竞驶＂和＂醉酒驾驶＂两种行为方式。危险驾驶案件多为醉酒驾驶。实践中,其规定存在着不足。应当扩大醉酒驾驶交通工具的范围、增加情节的限制,完善对危险驾驶罪之醉酒驾驶的刑罚处罚,规范与醉酒驾驶行为相关的机制。
