Nowadays, modern life cannot be imagined without automobile transport. The number of cars is increasing year by year, but unfortunately, the number of traffic accidents is also increasing. Traffic accidents caused by the fault of drivers make up the majority of all accidents. The ability of drivers to prevent traffic accidents depends on their level of training [1]. Driving a vehicle requires the driver to make the right decisions in a rapidly changing environment. With a constant lack of time, the driver cannot analyze in detail all possible courses of action and evaluate their consequences, as well as consult with someone about the correctness of the chosen decision. The process of training drivers is carried out by forming a complex of knowledge, skills, habits and qualities that reliably guarantee practical driving of a vehicle. We may be particularly interested in some issues of driver training in developed countries with a high level of car ownership [2]. In the United States, life without a private car is unimaginable, so in order to drive a car here, you must first learn how to drive it safely. Once you have mastered safe driving, you can apply for a driver's license, which allows you to drive independently. In order to drive in the US, you must be 16 or 18 years old, depending on each state's laws. Driver's licenses do not have a uniform appearance and are different in each state. When applying for a driver's license, it is necessary to provide proof of identity and residence. Some states also require proof of legal residency in the US. In order to obtain a driver's license, it is necessary to pass a theory test, pass a vision test, and pass a practical driving test to confirm that you have mastered the skills of safe driving and parking. In some states, an interpreter may be provided 7.1 36 2 12 during the practical driving test if needed. Pre-registration for the exam can be done online or in person [3]. State departments issue a variety of licenses for driving private cars, trucks, buses, trailers, motorcycles, and taxis. Most people get a standard Class D driver's license (Class D - Operator). A driver's license is valid for at least four years, depending on the state. If you need to move to another state, you must exchange your old driver's license for a new state driver's license, as each state's driver's license is different. This requires visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of the state you moved to and applying for a driver's license. The procedure for obtaining a driver's license varies from state to state, but there are some commonalities. In any state, youth under the age of 18 must obtain a learner's license before applying for a driver's license. A learner's permit authorizes a person 21 years of age or older to drive a vehicle with a valid driver's license. In some states, regardless of age, first-time drivers are required to obtain a learner's license. In most states, 14-16 year olds can apply for a learner driver's license. To obtain a learner driver's license, young people must pass a vision test and a written computer-based traffic test. The training certificate must be valid for six to nine months before applying for a driver's license. In addition, many states require young people to enroll in driver's education courses and develop their driving skills for 6-9 months before obtaining a driver's license. Also, some states require adults over 18 to obtain a learner's permit before obtaining their first driver's license. In these states, adults must obtain a learner's license 30-60 days before obtaining a driver's license. Seniors can get their driver's license earlier if they take a driver's education course. To do this, it is necessary to visit the local Department of Motor Vehicles and apply for a learner's license. In addition to driving training courses, they can also take a written theory test externally by learning the theory independently using the driver's manual and practical tasks. Some states provide driver's manuals translated into another language and allow written tests in another language. Currently, 16 states and the District of Columbia allow undocumented immigrants to apply for driver's licenses, including learner's licenses. If you cannot prove the legality of your stay in these states with documents, you can submit other documents. 7.1 37 2 12 It is worth noting that d
