Abstract		In culpable acts against the public traffic security in criminal law the explicity asserted subjective responsibility of the deliquent forcefully approaches the objective responsibility. The consequence (body injury or death of the damaged person), which is the objective condition of the culpability, is not included in the subjective relation of the deliquent as it is beyond his possibility of influence and therefore depends on the particular case. As the court has to determine the causality between the deliquent transgression of the traffic regulations and the actual consequence, it is often found in a hard position. Therefore, an expert is asked to help. The expert has to explain whether the consequence is to be ascribed to the deliquent's act exclusively or predominantly. In such cases the expert often has to find out hypothetically what kind of consequences would occur if there were no accompanying circumstances presented. Numerous ethical and legal questions concerning the work of the expert and the court have appeared, and should therefore draw the public attention.
