Introduction. 

Currently, the steady increase in the number of vehicles on urban and intercity roads makes the 

issues of ensuring road safety even more urgent. In order to reduce the number of road accidents, 

protect human life and health, as well as maintain the economic and social stability of the 

country, the need for highly qualified, theoretically and practically well-trained drivers is 

growing. In such conditions, the issue of developing a system of training, retraining and 

internships for drivers is of great importance. 

The process of training drivers consists not only in providing them with theoretical knowledge, 

but also in forming their ability to make the right decisions in various difficult situations on the 

roads. In the existing education system in our country, especially in the processes of retraining 

and internships for drivers, there is an insufficient harmony of theory and practice. As a result, 

graduates and drivers who have completed advanced training courses face many problems in real 

road conditions. This leads to serious shortcomings in ensuring road safety. 

In the world experience, in countries with high driver training, for example, in Germany, the 

USA, and Japan, a system of regular retraining, advanced training, and internships for drivers 

has been effectively established. In these countries, as a result of the widespread use of 

innovative educational technologies, in particular, modern simulators, virtual reality, and 

practical exercises, the professional competencies of drivers are being formed at a high level.

One of the important tasks is to adapt and implement such advanced practices to the conditions 

of our country. 

Based on this, the main purpose of this article is to scientifically analyze the current state of the 

system of training, retraining, and internships for drivers in Uzbekistan, identify existing 

shortcomings, and develop specific and effective proposals using international advanced 

practices to eliminate them. 

This article is an important source for educational institutions operating in the field, 

organizations engaged in ensuring road safety, government agencies, and a wide range of 

researchers, and will serve to further improve the system of professional training of drivers in 

our country. 

Main part 

Effective organization of driver training, retraining and internships is an important component of 

the road safety system. In our country, the increase in the number of vehicles and the intensity of 

road traffic in recent years has led to a proportional increase in the number of road accidents 

(RAs). This situation requires a systematic improvement of the professional qualifications of 

drivers who drive vehicles. Therefore, improving the processes of training, retraining and 

internships of drivers has become one of the most important tasks today. 

The process of training drivers should include the formation of practical skills, along with 

theoretical knowledge. In the existing system in Uzbekistan, more attention is paid to theoretical 

training, and the process of integration with practice is not sufficiently developed. This, in turn, 

reduces the level of preparedness of drivers for real situations on the roads. The results of 

scientific research show that systematic improvement of the knowledge and skills of drivers has 

a direct impact on reducing road accidents. 

The retraining process allows people who already have driving qualifications to update their 

knowledge and familiarize themselves with modern road safety requirements. In our country, the 

retraining system is often of a formal nature, and the effectiveness of such courses is not up to 

the mark. In particular, the lack of practice-oriented programs is one of the main shortcomings of 

the retraining process. By widely involving innovative educational technologies, simulators, and 

virtual reality systems in this process, it is possible to increase the adaptability of drivers to real 

situations. At the same time, the internship system also plays an important role in improving the 

professional training of drivers. During the internship process, drivers have the opportunity to 

directly get acquainted with various practical situations and improve their professional 

competencies. This system is not sufficiently established in Uzbekistan, and in most cases, 

internships are held officially and do not have a noticeable effect on improving the professional 

skills of participants. When analyzing international experience, it was found that the system of 

training, retraining and internships for drivers in countries such as Germany, the USA and Japan 

is highly effective. For example, in Germany, the driver training system pays great attention to 

practical training along with theoretical training. Drivers are regularly involved in special 

advanced training courses, and virtual reality, simulators and modern digital technologies are 

widely used in these courses. In the USA, the internship and retraining system is constantly 

monitored, and practical training is also organized in special traffic centers, and drivers' 

readiness for difficult road situations is regularly checked. In Japan, special psychological 

training and practical training aimed at improving the professional culture of drivers are 

widespread, which has had a significant impact on reducing the number of traffic accidents in 

this country. 

Based on the analysis of the above advanced international practices, it is advisable to develop the 

following scientific and practical recommendations for the effective implementation of driver 

training, retraining and internships in our country: 

1. Increase the hours of practical training in the driver training system, introduce modern training 

programs to closely link theoretical knowledge with practice.

2. Regularly organize retraining courses, organize them effectively not only theoretically, but 

also practically, and increase the efficiency of the retraining process through the widespread use 

of simulator and virtual reality technologies. 

3. Radically improve the internship system, organize special training grounds for the formation 

of professional skills of drivers in real road conditions and equip them with modern innovative 

technical means. 

4. Organize regular trainings and psychological training sessions aimed at increasing the 

professional competencies and safety culture of drivers, and involve highly qualified specialists 

in this process. 

5. Regularly improving the system of assessing the knowledge and skills of drivers, thereby 

accurately controlling the effectiveness of training and retraining. 

The systematic implementation of the above recommendations will serve to further improve the 

system of training, retraining and internship of drivers in our country, thereby increasing the 

level of road safety and protecting people's lives and health. 

Conclusion 

According to the results of the conducted research and analysis, the effective organization of the 

system of training, retraining and internship of drivers is one of the most important and decisive 

conditions for ensuring road safety. The fact that this system in our country is focused on 

theoretical knowledge and insufficiently combined with practice leads to low professional 

competence of drivers in road traffic. This, in turn, directly affects the number of road accidents 

and their serious consequences. 

At the same time, the experience of developed countries shows that regular retraining of drivers, 

improving their professional skills through practical training and internships leads to a 

significant reduction in the number of road accidents. In particular, in countries such as 

Germany, the USA and Japan, great results have been achieved in this area with the widespread 

introduction of modern innovative educational technologies and practical training. 

Based on the above analysis and international experience, the following practical proposals have 

been developed to improve the system of training, retraining and internships for drivers in our 

country: 

Proposals: 

Increase the hours of practical training along with theoretical training in the process of driver 

training, ensure the harmony of theory and practice through the widespread use of special 

training grounds and simulators; 

In order to regularly update the professional knowledge and skills of drivers, organize mandatory 

retraining courses for each driver and widely use virtual reality technologies in the courses; 

In order to improve the internship system and increase the readiness of drivers for difficult 

situations in real situations, organize special professional internship centers; 

Regularly monitor the psychological preparation and physical condition of drivers, introduce 

special psychological training and practical training in this area; 

Develop the material and technical base of educational institutions in order to ensure the 

widespread use of modern digital technologies and innovative teaching methods in the processes 

of training and retraining drivers; 

Regularly improving the system of assessing the professional knowledge and skills of drivers, 

ensuring transparency and impartiality by introducing an electronic monitoring system in this 

area.
