The basis of implementation the mediation of   law, among others, legal basis and sociological basis The juridical basis used includes the authority to "act according to self-assessment" as regulated in Article 18 of Law Number 2 of 2002. While the sociological basis includes the perpetrators and victims alike agreeing to make peace; In the event the offender is not entirely guilty; The impactor is  willing  to  provide compensation  of money and medical expenses to the victim; and the immature age of the traffic accident perpetrators. Barriers to the implementation the mediation of penalties include conflicts with penal system that applies in UULLAJ.
