5.0 out of 5 stars If you drive you need to read this, 9 Nov 2002
By Chris A "chris_store" (From my undersea lair) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roadcraft: The Police Driver's Handbook (Paperback)
This book is what every new driver should get along with the highway code. sadly this doesn't happen, so whether you have been driving for one day or thirty years you should read this.

The book is very well laid out and of the highest quality. Clear concise it is a very good example of HM Govt. publishing at its best. All points are clearly illustrated with diagrams, which interestingly often show a white car as the protagnist.

I am a little worried though at the thought that more than 99% of drivers have never even heard of this book. You won't learn any dark secrets, it will seem obvious when you read it like all the best advice. You will learn how to be a safe yet fast driver. How to handle your car and avoid accidents no matter what other drivers are up to.

Don't expect a potted road rally course or techniques of police pursuit driving. This is about road driving safely and quickly. Essential reading if you are going for an advanced driver rating or not.

In short: if you drive - read this

5.0 out of 5 stars Top driving tips for all, 17 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Roadcraft: The Police Driver's Handbook (Paperback)
Reading Roadcraft cannot fail to improve your driving. It's one of the most thorough books on advanced driving. This is an extremely valuable book for anyone who is interested in their driving. Roadcraft is also 'the bible' of advanced driving; those taking the advanced driving test of the Institute of Advanced Motorists or RoSPA need a good working knowledge of Roadcraft...However, other drivers will find it one of those books that's informative to dip into from time to time. It'll also be interesting for anyone curious to learn how the police drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drive To Survive, 19 Dec 2002
This review is from: Roadcraft: The Police Driver's Handbook (Paperback)
When collisions occur it's generally someone's fault. That's why the police tend to call them road traffic collsions now, rather than road traffic accidents. Nonetheless, what would you prefer, to be not at fault in a collision or to not have the collision in the first place? ROADCRAFT, applied correctly, will make the driver appreciate all kinds of hazards that are on the road today. Driving to the system of car control also makes you drive with less stress and you will travel using the maximum safe progress, which is how police officers treat every journey. It doesn't have to be fast, but by using the principles in ROADCRAFT, you will avoid hazards, appreciate hazards that you didn't before, and you'll learn to see them earlier. Recommended reading for EVERY driver.
