Abstract

In matters pertaining to sentence and fines in traffic court practice, the question is of utmost importance in which cases the presiding judicial officer may take it upon himself, without consulting an expert, to determine the blood alcohol level by back-calculation. The present opinions in this regard, published in the literature and expressed in the administration of justice, are mentioned. Thereafter it is explained how the judicial officer may acquire his own technical knowledge and what principles must be observed in its application.
