Driver's Day is, of course, a national holiday, which is loved in our country and is celebrated with pleasure. He accounts for the last Sunday of the autumn month of October.
What place a car occupies in the life of a modern person is a separate conversation, but the fact that it has become an integral attribute of life for most people is an obvious fact. That is why the Day of the driver is celebrated cheerfully, with an excellent mood and in many houses.
Once this unit was owned by the profession and in fact it was simply unique, and the drivers themselves were pioneers. The history of this profession began in 1896 at the All-Russian Industrial Exhibition, which was held in the city of Nizhny Novgorod. The first Russian car was presented there, and in 1909 the first production car was produced in Russia.
In the post-war 1946 in Moscow, the first mass passenger car Moskvich 400 was born. Sitting behind the wheel of a car was an honor, and the profession of a driver was considered prestigious and very profitable.
The road always attracted a person, it opened up great opportunities for moving at high speed in front of him and was an indisputable symbol of continuous forward movement. Driver’s Day is an occasion to gather at the same table different people whose life is connected with the road. A person who carries goods or passengers is regularly on the road. He is in a hurry to deliver his fellow travelers to relatives and friends, on important matters or just to relax, and his cargo is very much awaited somewhere. At heart, these people are undoubtedly lovers of travel, because they easily cross the borders of states.
On the Day of the driver, the contribution of this profession to the development of the country's economy is especially noted. Without their responsible attitude to transportation, the most daring projects would not have been realized. The country's economic growth and social well-being also depend to some extent on their work.
Of course, this holiday and the Day of the military driver are inseparable. Just remember what contribution people of this difficult profession made to victory in the Great Patriotic War. Of course, he is huge and appreciated. Military drivers risked their lives without thinking about death for a second. On their trucks, they delivered shells and medicines, provisions and water on time. They took out wounded soldiers and civilians from the fire, and they also carried children exhausted by hunger from Leningrad on the fragile ice of the Neva, realizing how dear they are every day. Homeland will never forget military drivers, honor and glory to them!
The work of drivers is tiring and sometimes very dangerous, it is sung in poetry and songs, and these are special, sincere songs. They are about the fact that someone is surely waiting for drivers and loves that each of them will definitely return home safe and sound.
Congratulations are heard everywhere on the driver’s day, and everyone wants to get behind the wheel of a car. If earlier this profession was only male, today women also began to actively drive cars. So this holiday rightfully belongs to the weaker sex, which is happy to celebrate Driver's Day.
Congratulations come on this day from the Ministry of Transport and work colleagues. The ceremonial meeting and the presentation of cash awards, a fun festive concert and favorite songs about the difficult life of the drivers - this is how this day goes.
People of this profession have one precious rule - do not leave a person alone in trouble on the road. Undoubtedly, these are courageous and persistent people, because everything happens on the way. Those drivers who will celebrate this holiday at home, and not behind the wheel, will certainly raise their glass and make a toast in which there will be a wish for "the absence of a nail and a rod." This is a very romantic profession, it has a lot of interesting and, perhaps, unpredictable. A huge part of drivers will spend a holiday on the road, and for most of them this day will still be special.
