Abstract. The current paper has considered several aspects of legal regulation of road safety, including the driving and operation of combat, special-purpose, and transport vehicles. To improve the combat effectiveness and readiness of troops, there has been proposed amendments and additions to current regulatory legal acts, as all legal acts of the Russian Ministry of Defense in this area are categorized according to types and branches of the Armed Forces of RF. For uniform and accurate application of these documents, it is necessary to codify them or organize them into a single local act. Moreover, some of the abovementioned legal acts have been in effect for several decades and require improvement due to current situation. There has been also established that the problematic issue of classifying military transport crimes committed during wartime remains unresolved. In the context of a special military operation, the process of developing wartime criminal legislation should be completed, covering liability for abandoning a sinking warship, violating driving or operating rules of vehicles, violating flight rules or preparation for them, and violating navigation rules. This should be accomplished by introducing the qualifying element “during periods of mobilization or martial law, during wartime, or in conditions of armed conflict or combat operations” into the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Keywords: road traffic accidents; driving and operating rules of vehicles; combat vehicles; special vehicles; transport vehicles; wartime.
