This book package is full of the most basic, non-specific (to the subject of driving) information you can get, which is all available free if you look on the web.
First, the DVD... it's chapter driven, meaning you have to keep clicking play after watching a very amateurish clip of some guy explaining the obvious. So you can't just sit back and soak up the information. The few clips you do get of actual driving show nothing more than someone sat in a car (no idea what they're doing with the controls). Plus at the end they thought they'd show you the presenter getting his driving test result (which is pointless and completely un-informative). There is no actual footage of a complete driving test in progress (which is what the packaging would have you believe)
Now, the books... They also give you basic information, such as "make sure you drive in the correct position on the road" without bothering to tell you what specifically the DSA considers to be "correct"! It must have been written by someone who thinks the average IQ of the British population is sub 60.
All in all it seems as if the DSA, when publishing this, was more interested making money by trading on its positition as an authority than in improving driving standards. There's nothing of use here whatsoever.
