交通事故认定的法律性质解析

有关学者及司法实践均将交通事故认定或定位于具体行政行为或认定为证据，而将该两种属性置于相互对立的地位。随着《道路交通安全法》将交通事故认定书定性为处理交通事故的证据，交通事故认定当事人申请重新认定、提起行政诉讼的权利随之丧失，其合法权益难以得到有效的维护和救济。事实上，交通事故认定属于一种行政确认行为．其书面结论的证据能力并不影响其具体行政行为的本质属性，两者完全可以协调统一于交通事故认定一身。

Resolution of the Legal Nature of the Traffic Accident Determination

Both scholars concerned and judicial practice think of traffic accident determination either as specific administrative act or evidence while putting the above-mentioned attributes in opposition. With the ＂Road Traffic Safety Act＂ defining the traffic accident determination as the evidence of dealing with traffic accidents, the prin- cipal＇s right of applying for re-examination and determination as well as bringing administrative prosecution has been deprived of, and his or her lawful rights and benefits are difficult to protect and relieve. Actually, traffic ac- cident determination belongs to a kind of administrative confirmation, and its ability of evidence of written con- clusion doesn＇t influence the nature of specific administrative act. Both of them can be combined into the deter- mination of traffic accidents.
