未獲授權而取用運輸工具

知司機無牌照坐犯法


【明報專訊】進出口汽車商會會長兼國際專業保險諮詢協會會長羅少雄表示,在交通意外中,司機若無有效車牌,即使車主已購買第三者保險,保險也會失效,換言之受傷乘客可能不獲賠償。

不過,羅少雄稱,若乘客事前不知司機沒有車牌,可向香港汽車保險局的汽車保險基金追討賠償。

羅續稱,汽車保險基金的索償額等同一般汽車保險,基金是在第三者保險失效時,保障在交通事故中無辜受傷或死者的人,例如醉駕中被撞傷或撞死的途人、被撞傷後無法看清車牌從而追討的人;另外,汽車保險公司倒閉後,索償者亦可向基金追討。另大律師陸偉雄稱,若乘客早知司機無有效車牌仍登車,或在車程中得知而沒要求下車,法律上等同鼓勵司機犯法,可能觸犯協助教唆駕駛時無駕駛執照,刑罰上限與無牌駕駛相同。

我只想談報導最後部份,明知是偷來的車,還坐上去做乘客,不會是協助教唆無牌駕駛。《盜竊罪條例》第14條未獲授權而取用運輸工具控罪,產生3種可被檢控的情況,

1. 未得車主同意取用該車, 

2. 明知車輛在未獲合法權限的情況下取用而仍然駕駛該車,及

3. 明知車輛在未獲合法權限的情況下取用而仍然乘坐該車。

故此,乘客干犯的是第3種情況,英文是knowing that such vehicle had been taken without authority allowed himself to be carried on or in it. 英文控罪是Allowed To Be Carried On Conveyance Taken Without Authority,不會是協助教唆無牌駕駛。

  1. Thanks! Now I know what the charge would be when I get into my getaway vehicle, which is going to be driven by my associate. Now I need to buy some ski-masks or pantyhose and some guns or gun-looking objects before I visit a bank.

  2. Hey, no need for pantyhose or balaclava. Bank robbers just produce a piece of paper saying I want money. Associate is just a gentleman and professionally associated word. You should say accomplice which is derogatory semantically.

    By the way, why do you need to turn yourself into a third-rate criminal. You are a first-rate blogger.

    1. montwithin,

      Given your intelligence, you should be a first-rate robber. You can rob without being caught and you can rob where victims do not even know they are robbed. You should be a white collar criminal like the property developers.

    2. Saying accomplice implies guilt. I might want to try an insanity plea.

      To be a property developer you need large amount of start up capital for your criminal activities. Investment banking perhaps? I think they swear to some kind of a creed and have their secret society like initiation rituals. Perhaps the government? Unfortunately, the police have become low-paying mooks right now.

      I do want to have my own secret lair and laser sharks someday...

    3. You have your own secret lair in the unknown mountain already but I don't quite follow your "laser sharks" desire. What meaning does it connote?
