Necessity to Research the Evolution of Meta-Cognitive Aspects of Individual Drivers in Emergencies

The author conducts a statistical analysis of current data on road traffic crime. It is established that a high number of committed accidents have a devastating impact not only on the economic component of the country, but also on the level of child road traffic injuries. Despite the trend of reducing the number of road accidents and number of the injured, the level of accidents in the country remains high. That is why eliminating the risks of road traffic injuries, according to the author, should be based not only on public efforts, but also on a stable legislative framework. It is established that the man is a complex self-regulating system able, depending on the situation, to use their innerr resources in a flexible manner to achieve the desired result and avoid the danger. One of the keys to reliability is professional training. Therefore, in the implementation of preventive measures it is necessary to take into account the specifics of negligent crimes and the identity of the driver. The analysis of the main socio-demographic characteristics of prisoners enabled the author to form a portrait of a traffic offender personality. The author suggests that if to single out the most important factors of influence in the life of the driver responsible for the accident, it will be possible to purposefully form the "correct" environment for the development of a law-abiding citizen through the elimination of negative elements. The development of a new approach in the penal policy, associated with the study of the psychological characteristics of the individual vehicle drivers and also with the study of problems of evolution of the meta-cognitive system, formed under the influence of the social environment, requires to research the ability of the driver to analyze their own thinking strategies and to manage their cognitive activities, particularly in stressful situations, when every second counts for the assessment of the situation. Thereby having determined the need for further research from the standpoint of the evolution of meta-cognitive aspects of the criminal personality formed under the influence of the external environment in dangerous situations, the author concludes that the extension of such theoretical knowledge will allow scientists to develop new coping strategies that would be a surefire means of control by the driver himself in stressful situations.
