The article presents the results of a study of the impact of driver condition on road safety and directions for its improvement. The purpose of the study is to identify the causes of road traffic accidents and identify measures aimed at improving road safety. The main task in the field of road safety is to minimize the accident rate and reduce the severity of the consequences of road accidents. The success of implementing relevant measures is determined by the accuracy of identifying areas of concentration of road accidents and the speed of implementing effective solutions. Improving road safety is a global priority that requires comprehensive solutions. This means developing and implementing strategies at different levels, from national to local, and using the latest methods of managing transport systems. The work of a driver is associated with high risk. Accidents can lead not only to significant material losses, but also to human casualties. As evidenced by numerous scientific studies, the profession of a driver places high demands on the psychophysiological state of a person. Insufficient development of these qualities in some drivers can negatively affect road safety. In the context of ensuring road safety, the assessment of the psychological characteristics of drivers, such as emotional stability, risk-taking, self-control and normative behavior, is of great importance. Effective psychophysiological selection of drivers taking into account these factors can contribute to reducing the level of accidents.
