Abstract: The subject of this research is the innovative means of legal education of road users aimed at prevention of road traffic accidents. The aim of the research is to define prospects of developing and using applied innovative solutions of preventive nature presented in the form of digital applications and reference books, and video clips, to ensure the legal education of road users (drivers and pedestrians) as well as amateur participants of a criminal proceeding at the stage of preliminary investigation, in relation to road traffic crime cases (suspects/accused, victims, and witnesses). The research methodology involves the dialectical resaeerch method as well as the system of general and special research methods. The research is based on the analysis and generalization of research literature and judicial practice. The main conclusions of the research is that in spite of their practical importance today, practical preventive recommendations are made quite rarely. The authors underline that as a result of adopting the State Policy of the Russian Federation for developing legal literacy and sense of justice, forensics should now focus on the development of practical recommendations and guidelines for amateur participants of a criminal proceeding. Based on the results of their research, the authors conclude that development and use of electronic handouts and guidelines as the means of legal education offer great opportunities for criminalists and may become a priority for applied criminalistic researches that comrpise a pragmatic approach to forensics in the nearest future.
