Abstract (English):
Introduction. A considerable number of educational and scientific works are devoted to the peculiarities of training drivers of vehicles equipped with devices for emitting special light and sound signals. Such attention is motivated by the problem of road traffic injuries in the part that concerns road users of this category. By virtue of the official duties they perform, these employees of the internal affairs bodies must not only be an example of compliance with traffic rules, but also possess professional skills in the prevention and suppression of critical situations associated with the loss of vehicle control. Decisions on the implementation of certain counter-emergency driving techniques to ensure their own safety and the safety of other road users must be made with minimal time and physical expenditure. The development of such skills is possible during training according to special programs and in the presence of the appropriate educational and material base and qualified teaching staff. Methods. The methodological basis of the study, the results of which are presented in this article, consisted of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), pedagogical experiment, statistical methods. Results. The authors reviewed the primary training tools used to develop drivers' motor skills for manipulating vehicle controls. The opinions of representatives of the scientific community were studied. The authors described their experience participating in driver training programs. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two steering wheel rotation techniques: palm grip and back-of-hand roll. The data obtained from the experiments allowed them to evaluate the effectiveness of these steering wheel manipulation techniques and formulate recommendations for improving driver training. The experimental results were tested for statistical significance to determine the patterns of the study results.
