The perspective or the theory of dignified justice is a result of a contemplation and philosophical thinking, and scientific research about the world, especially in this case the legal world in general. It can therefore be considered as a grand theory of law. The Dignified justice theory understands, defines and justify or possibly falsify the idea of justice more broadly, encompassing a legal system and not merely defining the concept of justice as distributive, commutative, fairness or any other kind of justice. From the perspective of dignified justice theory, the researchers has found and believe that in the criminal pre-investigation phase of the Pancasila Legal System its laws and regulations which manifesting the spirit of the Indonesian people (Volksgeist) appears to imply possibilities of using diversion method to settle lawfully the violation of the legal provisions governing road traffic transportation which resulting in any road traffic accidents as an alternative way of obtaining justice based consensus and recognised by the court and the legal system. This is in line with the spirit in diversion known and existing in the Pancasila Legal System. Diversion, or penal mediation or whatever the name might be given to the alternative dispute or cases settlement, as long as it is in accordance with the legal principle of consensus deliberation (musyawarah mufakat), it is justified in the Pancasila Legal System, provided that it is not contrary to applicable laws and regulations in the System. In the Pancasila Legal System, particularly its criminal justice system (CJS) the investigator, public procecutors and judges may use their discretionary power as the law to utilised the diversion to settle cases or disputes arising from the violation of the road trafic transportation laws and regulations which cause road trafic transport accidents.
