Abstract:
It is a frequently asked question who was the driver of a vehicle when a traffic accident occur. To give an expert opinion who was the driver of vehicle, expert witness must inspect not only trace evidences remained in vehicle and occupant's clothing but also occupant's injuries. Thus, the collaboration of forensic engineering and forensic medicine is very fruitful in this kind of case. Due to open sitting position of occupants, deciding the driver of motorcycle is a very difficult and case dependent problem and it is very rare that the driver of motorcycle can be decided only by the estimation of occupant's injuries. In this report, we introduce the case that the driver of motorcycle can be decided by the collaboration of forensic engineering and forensic medicine.
