Winter road training of police drivers of internal affairs bodies on all-wheel drive official transport category "B"

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to propose a pedagogical methodology for professional training of police drivers in winter based on a set of exercises performed in the conditions of a racetrack, improving the skills of safe driving on a road surface with a low coefficient of adhesion of wheels to the roadbed in conditions of a limited budget of training time. The article analyzes the main causes of road accidents involving employees of internal affairs bodies and typical mistakes made by police drivers in dangerous road traffic situations; the main technical techniques of police drivers that need to be improved in the process of conducting short-term training courses for police drivers are identified; based on the analysis of the skills of safe driving on the road with icy phenomena, experienced drivers have developed a thematic exercise for conducting practical field classes on the racetrack in winter time. As a result of the pedagogical experiment, the criteria for the formation of driving skills among representatives of the experimental group and control groups were derived and a proven pedagogical methodology for improving professional competencies for the safe management of police drivers of four-wheel-drive official cars equipped with devices for giving special light and sound signals of category "B" in conditions of icy phenomena was proposed.
