European identity: what really Ukraine should enter the
in Almost all member countries of the EU to pass a medical examination for obtaining a driving license is easier than in Ukraine. In some countries, it is sufficient to fill in a Declaration (application) to check vision. The simplified system of the physical works for those who is not a driver by profession. These findings were presented by the authors of the study "the identity of the driver on the right of management by vehicles: European experience and recommendations for Ukraine". According to Directive 2006/126/EC concerning driver's license in the EU member States, medical examinations for drivers of categories A-b may not be held – at the discretion of the member countries of the EU, however, all candidates must meet medical requirements. Medical examinations for those who received the first driver's license categories a-D required. When you upgrade such certificates drivers must confirm the condition. In most of the countries-EU members the medical examination carried out by family physicians. In some cases these are doctors who have received additional training in transport medicine, or experts from the transport medicine who work in specialized medical centers. "To simplify the medical examination for drivers of non-professionals, as it operates in European countries, is possible only in case of availability of other evidence of state of health, does not interfere with the driving and guarantee safety on the road. This is possible if all will undergo regular checkups in case of implementation of electronic health systems or health insurance," – says Oksana Sivak, Deputy Minister of health of Ukraine on European integration issues. Ukraine has one of the highest in Europe level of death and injury in road accidents. At the same time, the organization of road safety remains low. Over the past six years more than 26 thousand people were killed and 210 injured on the road. Only last year, the number of accidents increased by 5%, and the number of victims rose by more than 6% compared to 2015. Almost two quarters of the fatalities last year were pedestrians and cyclists. Unfortunately, statistics of incidents that were the result of irregularities in the health of drivers in Ukraine. Though next year's proposed introduction of the statistical forms which can track this information. According to the Convention on road traffic, the driver must have the physical and mental ability to drive the vehicle and be in proper physical and mental condition. However, the Convention does not specify how this should be confirmed. The resolution of this question rests with the MINISTRY of health. Approaches to the organization of medical examinations for drivers have hardly changed in Ukraine since Soviet times. There are many cases when the certificate you get for the money without any verification of health. In Ukraine earned the European rules and regulations necessary to eliminate the risk of issuing such certificates imitations. The Ukrainian medical center of safety of traffic and information technologies of the Ministry of health creates a nationwide database of healthcare institutions entitled to carry out medicineworld of potential drivers and drivers. In test mode this register should be up and running in 2018. Examples of how to carry out examinations of drivers of non-professionals in European countries: Austria – medical examination takes up to 15 minutes. The applicant fills out a medical Declaration in the presence of a physician. Unless he has health problems and is under the supervision of a physician, additional examinations are not needed. France – medical check-up lasts up to 15 minutes. It is held by the General practitioner, who held a three-day training in traffic medicine. If necessary, the inspection can involve specialists. Germany – every applicant for a driving licence must undergo a medical examination. This review takes up to 20 minutes.
