The past year has shown growth in the number of road accidents in the country. Cause more than 80% of road accidents is the "human factor", that is, errors drivers themselves. And whether they are prepared to see if driver training today's needs, whether the existing legal framework to regulate the process of preparing this very
and realistic to develop a state mechanism of the functioning of the systemdriver training? A lot of questions, but each are human lives.
These and other issues, but in terms of
the existence of shortcomings
and issues discussed in the Russian legislation
at a round table in the State Duma
in early February.
Among the participants of
- Experts and scholars, representatives of Russianresearch and educational institutions, heads of driving schools and their professional associations, community organizations, the executive and the legislature.
For the first time in the modern practice in the event of such a level of
A representative of the Primorye -
Chairman of the Maritime Association of Driving Schools, CEO

"ANIK" Alexander Nikolaev.
- Round table meeting was very timely. For a discussion of the amendments to the Law "On the Road Safety", participants gathered in Moscow from different regions of the country.
During the roundtable, we discussed the current state of preparation and approval of drivers to drive vehicles, as well as possible measures to reduce the number of accidents and their consequences.
For example, Icaused a lot of issues in the proposed law on road safety a number of provisions relating to the race tracks and acceptance tests "other organizations."
Talking about
automated autodrome
Who so successfully used in South Korea for training of drivers and which love to refer traffic police representatives, the race track - this is only one link in the overall process of taking exams drivers. Moreover, South Korea's processautodromes appearance did not go to a financial burden on the driving school, and was one of the stages of the entire state program. We also expected to create the need for countries of these race tracks passed on to driving schools. Where will this lead,
is not difficult to predict.
Is the question, and the following sentence: "educational institutions and other organizations engaged in the training and retraining of drivers of vehicles are allowed to participate in the organization of the examinations using technical means of verification of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the examinees in the procedure established by the Government of the Russian Federation." Then what about
Laws "On Procurement of goods and works," and "On Protection of Competition"? It turns out that the structure of the state traffic police for exams can involve any institution for the training of drivers? What will happen this selection, why this school, but not the same.
By what criteria will be selected - the presence of motor racing track,
qualified instructors
,
number of accidents committed by young drivers in training in this driving school, proximity to traffic police, etc.? But what about the government order, contests ?
Chairman of the Board of the Maritime Association of Driving Schools Alexander Nikolaev explained that during the round table has been emphasized that in the field of driver training
newly adopted documents often run counter to the existing laws, and contradict each other.
Driver training program to update, and taking exams technique remained the same.
Moreover, the preparation of examiners is not solved.
Now in our law there is no requirement for the examiners no specific serious as in the same Europe, training
and the conditions of admission to their work.
He's just the traffic police.
We in Primorye also repeatedly raised this issue,
and here it was made at the federal level.
Speakers at a roundtable focused their attention on another inconsistency of practice and legislation. Today, Russian training programs to drive such that
future candidates for the drivers are motivated exam and obtain rights
but the rules of conduct at the wheel, the movement of the hazards they know firsthand, physiological basis of driving we have not explored.
Questions were raised and self-training for new drivers in categories A and B. The legislative framework is the notion there is more than 20 years, the authorization is valid for
exams in the traffic police, traffic police though they agree that the self-study - this is nonsense. As a result of such inconsistencies there are numerous courses and centers, where they promised a quick self-study. Colleague from Moscow stressed that because of misuse in the "Law on Road Traffic Safety" term, a situation of unfair competition, in which at independently prepare drivers do not need to confirm execution of the training program. In this situation,
law-abiding driving schools can not compete
And overall quality of driver training will steadily diminish.
And there are moments where the representatives of driving schools, the public, experts, scholars
could not find a specific answer to the current bill on the matter, was enough.
To the preparation of future drivers and legislation moving, as they say "up", sounded very much separate and specific proposals, confirmed by a wealth of experience, practice.
As explained by Mr. Nikolayev, the result of the round table was the speech of its members to the Legislative Assembly, Prime Minister, heads of ministries. It contains the proposals aimed at reducing the risks of accidents and their consequences, made by scientists and professionals directly related to driver training.
