- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019Informative reading for car guys. Similar to the book written by Bob Bondurant on law enforcement driving. There isn't much written on this topic. If you love to drive, buy it before it goes out of print.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014This book is a classic - written for highly qualified UK police drivers but a worthwhile, informative instruction guide for the rest of us / civilians.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018I have been teaching car control clinics at racetracks for 30 years, and bought this book [per recommendation] to see if the author had any information or approaches I had missed. Yes, a few. The book is straightforward and dry.
Few will read it for pleasure. I am considering how to incorporate this into my teaching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading For The Improving Driver
I had not driven in 10 years having driven for 5 years when I did drive. I therefore decided to purchase this book to relearn and add additional theory to my driving. I highly recommend this book to anyone in a similar position to myself as well as even to those who have yet to pass their driving test. This is because it is packed with so much useful information to be put into practice to make ones driving safer. It is of course intended for trainee police drivers, but I believe all drivers can learn a great deal from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this as well as the national Highway Code book
I am re-doing my advance driving and this is a very good book for all ages both male and female because it gives you a better understanding of how to handle a car in all weather conditions and looking out for hazard's on the roads. It also helps you to think about your attitude when your behind the wheel of a car and also if you really want to be a safe drivers and save money on your insurance then go for a course in advance driving, also get a CCTV Dash Cam front & Rear for your car and you may save loads of money on your Car Insurance as insurers like to see someone taking responsibility for there car and not just keeping it well oiled, but checking it is in good condition to drive safely on the roads. Be aware of your surroundings and keeping both you & your passenger safe and other road users. Highly Recommend this book for all ages maybe it will help cut your speed down and save someone's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book
Everyone driving should read this. There is a US version that you'd want if you are driving in the USA or Canada; this is the UK edition. It's used for training police.
The book talks about the whole context of driving, not just the actual mechanical process - frame of mind, conditions, attitude. Very good, very practical, very clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to improve your driving
This book details everything you need to know about how to improve your driving. The results you will see from adopting and practising the system of car control are evidenced by better fuel efficiencies and less strain on you and your vehicle. The pleasure of driving smoothly and safely in an increasingly unsafe environment is very satisfying. From the outset, the book allows you the opportunity to either read from beginning to end or dip in and out dependant on your level of driving ability. It's a small price to pay to ensure you and your passenger's safety when driving in any conditions.
