Features: The "Road Traffic Safety Law" implemented on May 1, 2004, is a law of China concerning road traffic safety, closely related to the daily travel of citizens, and serves as the basic principle for ensuring road traffic safety. In response to the specific implementation of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the State Council has promulgated the "Implementation Rules of the Road Traffic Safety Law" and the "Regulations on Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance." As for the issues of compensation items and amounts for personal injury caused by traffic accidents, the "Explanation of the Supreme People's Court on Applying Laws in Adjudicating Cases of Personal Injury Compensation" applies. In addition to serving as the basic principle for traffic police enforcement, the "Road Traffic Safety Law" is primarily used to resolve the following disputes that may occur in road traffic: disputes over the determination of liability in traffic accidents, disputes over personal injury compensation in traffic accidents, disputes over property damage compensation in traffic accidents, disputes over traffic accident insurance claims, and others. When disputes over personal injury, property compensation, and insurance claims in traffic accidents occur, parties can resolve them in two ways: first, through self-negotiation or accepting mediation by the traffic department; second, by filing a lawsuit in court, where the court will make a judgment based on the provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Additionally, the circled parts in this book are explanatory notes added by the compilers to help readers understand the legal provisions of road traffic laws.
