Abstract

Since Amendment(Ⅷ) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China added crime of dangerous driving represented by driving while intoxicated(DWI), the debate over the following issues heated: the legal nature of crime of dangerous driving; the relationship between this crime and other related crimes (such as crime of causing traffic casualties); whether all driving while intoxicated should be classified as crime, and so on. This article considers that the following conclusions can be drawn: first, crime of dangerous driving is not negligent abstract dangerous crime, it is intentionel abstract dangerous crime; second, if driving while intoxicated behavior constitutes crime of causing traffic casualties or crime of endangering public security with the dangerous method while the behavior constitutes crime of dangerous driving, crime of dangerous driving will be absorbed into the preceding two crimes and only constitute the preceding crime; third, the proviso of Article 13 of Criminal Law can apply to crime of dangerous driving as abstract dangerous crime, acoording to specific details, driving while intoxicated may also not constitute crime of dangerous driving.
