Highways are road communication routes that allow the movement of means of transport in a shorter time, at high speed and under safe conditions. They are extremely important for the economy of any state as they generate extremely important economic and social effects. This article provides an overview of the situation of highways in Romania from a European, national and regional perspective. The analysis of the evolution of the length of highways in Romania is carried out especially for the period after 1989, when the actions regarding the construction of highways began to intensify. At the EU level, Romania ranks 17th in terms of the number of km of highway built. In Romania, there are currently only three completed highways, two in more advanced phases of execution, three in the initial phase and two in the preparation phase. At the regional level, there are only two regions with a length of more than 250 km of highway, one with a length of more than 150 km, four regions with less than 100 km and one region without highways.

The following article has set its aim to present and analyze some of the specialized legal literature opinions regarding the elements which form the criminal offence of entrusting a vehicle to someone who does not own a driver's license or who is under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances, as regulated by Article 335 paragraph (3) of the in force Romanian Criminal Code. Naturally, such systematization is doubled by the author's personal observations, which intend to open a new perspective on particular controversial scenarios or, at least, to propose additional arguments regarding the opinions already established in the legal literature. The author's approach is similar to the one that is commonly used in the Romanian doctrine, the analysis starting with the reason behind the incrimination, followed by observations referring to the constituent elements of the crime (subject, object, objective, and subjective dimension) and ending with other elements that characterize the criminal offence under analysis (relation with other criminal offences). The author emphasizes the more problematic situations, which generate (or have the ability to generate) debates in the legal literature and judicial practice. At present, the criminal offence of entrusting a vehicle is often analyzed briefly in the literature, probably due to the fact that such a criminal offence seems unchallenging at a first glance. The author tries to prove that this criminal offence has more to offer and could be the source of many interesting theoretical discussions. On the one hand, the article offers the reader an overview of the main aspects concerning the offence of entrusting a vehicle, and on the other hand, the present article "sets the ground" for a future scientific approach of the author, respectively that in which he will analyze the relationship between this offence and subsequent result offences (manslaughter or culpable personal injury), a subject that is intensely discussed in the legal literature.
