TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Factors affecting a fatal outcome in road accidents JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Bull, J. P. A1 - Raffle, P. A. SP - 57 EP - 59 VL - 30 IS - 1 N2 - The North Report mentioned the question of whether charges and/or sentencing should be modified by fatal outcome following offences involving bad driving. This note classifies factors relating to the accident, the casualty and medical care which may, often fortuitously, determine a fatal outcome. It is suggested that these should be borne in mind in deciding offences and sentencing.
