Almost by Professor Preobrazhensky ...
According to the World Health Organization, every year worldwide die from accidents than 1.2 million people. Scientists expect this figure to increase 65 percent over the next 20 years. The scale of road accidents in Ukraine is ahead of similar figures most European countries. On average we are 16 minutes every accident on the road 2:00 someone dies in an accident. The reasons for such grim statistics a lot. Almost all of them identified. This road congestion, which designed, built and still in the USSR and not calculated in the large flow of cars, and poor road surface, and advanced traffic control system and low level driver training, and lack of basic driving culture. Many of them are interrelated, some - deep roots in our objective reality, linked with national traditions and mentality. But all are united by one trait: they have long been grown in the state level and require an integrated approach in solving. Napivmiramy not do here. For example, many governments dependent on raising the amount of fines, he said, few offenders in Europe, because everyone counts their money. But in Europe pay for all violations, and janitor, manager, and MP. It's no secret that we have the law at all, but some little "more level". It seems that way - the inevitability of punishment. It is these lobbyists hide behind the slogan of commissioner to impose and collect fines, they say, "on the spot." In many countries it is usual practice. But who zaprysyahnetsya that elated that such powers does the inspector will not abuse them? Raise wages "Police"? This is the time from which a person has missed the fact that it has? Few can resist the temptation to get easy money. Internal control, professional screening, prevention and law informing drivers on the subject giving bribes - is not out. Left alone, without witnesses, the two always find a way to "communicate". As mentioned Transfiguration professor, not devastation in the country and in the heads! Until follow traffic rules will not be profitable until ix nobody comply. For example, many countries in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East urban transport resembles Brownian motion. Average vehicle speed in such conditions does not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. In Europe, transport loaded, where all observe the rules of the road, average speed of 50-80 kilometers per hour. This fact was known to many, or how to explain that our drivers, being abroad, are courteous and law-abiding? Not for penalties, and through its own benefit. At home it profitable to slip on the yellow, not reducing speed, fly through the village, to overtake the "cork" on the sidewalk or the oncoming lane. And few people think that the reason "peel" is the same "riders" that try vtovpytysya at the narrow part of the oncoming lane or sidewalk. And interestingly, the poll showed that almost all drivers are ready to follow traffic rules, provided that they adhere to others. And the behavior of our compatriots abroad shows that this is true. Thus, a vicious circle: I violation for all break? Interesting solution delivered during the conference with representatives of fear-ment companies, GA Interior, Ministry of Transport, Association of driving Ukraine, Society for Defense of Ukraine. After a long discussion on experts agreed on the opinion that you can put an end to disorder in the pipeline drivers. In their view, should be to tighten the selection of candidates in the water, raise the bar for the study of theory and practical driving training program rewritten for modern realities. For example, the chairman of the "Ukrainian insurance house" Michael Berlin invited to enter counter-driving training for drivers and public transportation. The head of the Center for Road Safety Department of Civil Aviation Ministry of Ukraine Colonel Vasily Zaichenko one of the real ways to improve the road climate sees universal liability insurance for drivers. He says, then the consequences for violations will each pay their own purse. But does it justify the hopes placed? Hardly. Again found a number of reasons to confine napivzahodamy, as happened with the computer-leksnoyu program that will by 2012 (the date chosen is "out of thin air") to reduce accidents on roads in half. accepted it, and forget about funding. As the law on mandatory liability insurance driver. The law is compulsory for all, but not actually binding. Roman BAKAUMENKO
