Why Do Traffic Police Delay Issuing the Liability Statement?

[VonChristian]

Traffic police may delay issuing the liability statement because the investigation and appraisal have not yet been completed, and the accident liability has not been clarified. The traffic accident liability determination document must be rigorous, with no room for errors, and must be reasonable and lawful. The traffic management department of the public security authority should promptly prepare the traffic accident determination document based on the on-site investigation, inspection, survey results, and relevant appraisal conclusions, which serves as evidence for handling the traffic accident. According to the traffic accident handling procedures, if the traffic management department of the public security authority needs to inspect or appraise the vehicles involved, their speed, traces, items, or the road conditions at the scene, it should assign or entrust professional technicians or qualified appraisal institutions to conduct the inspection or appraisal within five days from the date of the on-site investigation. The inspection or appraisal should be completed within twenty days.
