abstract="This paper investigates the ancillary factors judges consider when sentencing dangerous driving offenses. These factors are divided into favorable (i.e., &quot;Confess&quot; [CF], and &quot;Actively compensate and obtain forgiveness from victims&quot; [AC]) and unfavorable categories (i.e., &quot;Mainly or solely responsible for the accident&quot; [MSR], and &quot;Post-accident behavior&quot; [BAA]). <br><br>RESULTS indicate that both types of factors mediate the relationship between &quot;Blood Alcohol Concentration&quot; (BAC) and the sentencing outcome: favorable factors have a significant negative correlation with sentences, while unfavorable ones show a positive correlation. The mediation effect ratios are 13.8% and 19.1% respectively, with no significant differences between their impacts on judges' sentencing decisions.
