Different countries have developed their own systems for turning a pedestrian into a good driver
In Russian driving schools, they train drivers and prepare them for the final exam. Before training, the future driver undergoes a medical examination to rule out diseases that could pose a threat to the lives of road users. Only drivers who have passed the exam for the right to drive a vehicle in one of the categories (A – E) can drive a particular car on the road. Training usually lasts about 2.5 months.
Driving itself is taught by a driving instructor and takes place on closed training grounds or at driving ranges. A good effect for acquiring initial skills can be achieved with the help of computer simulator programs. The exam is taken at the MREO. It includes theory and driving practice.
In many countries, driver training is a licensed activity. This is particularly the case in the United States. The minimum driving training time in this country is about 50 hours. Of these, ten hours are conducted by a driving instructor on complex roads.
In England, driver training is half the volume of the US. The instructor independently determines how ready the student is for the exam.
France differs from the US and England in that there is no minimum number of driving training hours and driving schools are generally not licensed. Also, the student is required to attend only one driving lesson, after which the driving instructor makes a conclusion about readiness for the exam. The remaining driving hours are at the student's free choice.
In Germany, everything about driver training is similar to England, with one small difference: the training program includes driving in dark conditions.
In Japan, driving is taught for 10 hours in urban conditions. The exam, both theory and actual driving, can be taken externally. In China, the minimum is 58 hours of training. It also includes theory and driving practice.
In Canada, training at a driving school takes 35 hours. This includes 25 hours of theory and 10 hours of driving practice.
Some countries are modernizing their driver training systems. For example, in Israel, about 100 special training centers will be created. They also plan to apply modern training technologies.
