摘要:新刑法已明确规定“逃逸”行为为交通肇事罪的量刑情节，并将“因逃逸致人死亡”情节加入其中，与旧刑法相比的确有所提高。2000年11月10日最高人民法院颁布了《关于审理交通肇事刑事案件具体应用法律若干问题的解释》，《解释》中将“逃逸”规定为犯罪构成要件，使得法律对交通肇事后逃逸行为的规定得更加深入，但是现行法律对交通肇事后逃逸行为的定性问题规定的不够细致。首先，我国法律及司法解释对“交通肇事逃逸行为”的界定不明确，存在许多争议。其次，“交通肇事逃逸行为”是交通肇事罪的法定从重情节不利于定罪量刑。本文认为立法及司法机关应将交通肇事逃逸行为进行准确定性，并要将交通肇事逃逸行为独立定罪来解决现行法律中存在的问题。
