Product Description

Book Description

The Ministry of Transport has been infiltrated by Top Gear, who have issued their own set of rules for the road with a distinct Top Gear twist

Product Description

As everyone knows, there are three ways of doing things. The right way, the wrong way and the Top Gear way. Although, on reflection, that's usually just the wrong way, but faster and with more shouting. Anyway, the good news is that this third way of doing things can be applied to almost anything, and that includes motoring in general. All you need is the right guidance, which is where the brand new Top Gear Alternative Highway Code comes in.

Top Gear's Altnernative Highway Code will show you how to bring the ambitious but rubbish philosophies of the world's most popular TV programme to your driving, containing advice on general motoring, as well as specific tips on how to deal with common eventualities like a rapidly sinking amphibious camper van, a caravan airship that's just crashed into a small bush, or a stupid home-made limousine that's snapped in half while transporting a top celebrity to an awards ceremony.

Road users should not leave home without it.

Our son bought this for his dad and i just thought that it would be a token present and he wont even bother looking at it. But as i was cooking breakfast i heard belly laughing coming from the room and when i went to look i saw both of them looking through this book and really laughing. it was nice sight for a fathers day morning.

this is not all, i have heard my husband qoute snippets of it to his friends on the phone and, as i have him as a friend on facebook, i have witnessed him use it to inform his status updates.

i never write reviews but i felt i should give my son credit - in writting- for arguing with me to buy this for his dad, it turned out to be a real winner. Well done DYLAN

Fantastic 15 July 2010
By Sir Furboy TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
this book is absolutely wonderful. A funny alternative view to the Highway Code. I have not laughed so much at a book about driving since I read the equally funny (but now probably out of print) "Boston Drivetr's Handbook". This book does not steal from the other one, but the tongue in cheek humour is very similar.

I am not a big fan of Top Gear the programme, but that did not detract from my enjoyment of this hilarious book.

I saw this and wanted it for myself but never got around to buying it. I was out shopping the other day with my boyfriend and I showed him (as we're both into Top Gear) and he fell in love with it so I bought it for him as a birthday present!
It's great fun to read and it really cheers me up about driving as I'm a learner driver. Would recommend to any Top Gear fan! Guaranteed to make you laugh!
