5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to past both theory and practical tests, 29 Oct 2001
By paul@psmason.com (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
As my driving instructor said the only way to be certain pass the tests is to be a good driver. This book not only tells you what you need to know but how best to implement it. The ultimate book!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Treat this as your essential bed time read!!!, 3 April 2005
By Kate Wilkinson (Lytham St Annes, LANCASHIRE United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Driving a car is not a natural skill- it takes practice, commitment, and confidence..... as I know as well as anybody! Following driving lessons either with my insructor or boyfriend I often find that there is so much to take in that I cannot rememeber everything and with this in mind, this book is fantastic to have by your side to give your brain a mini refresher course whenever you need it. Clearly laid out and with step by step guides it really does help build your knowledge base of skills however dont confuse it with the books taylored for the Theory Test as that is not what this book is designed for - buy a seperate book instead as not all things are covered in this one!!! Good Luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic read, 14 Dec 2004
This is the only book you should think about buying if you are taking lessons and want to pass your test. After a driving lesson I would often be thinking up questions and this book was handy to have around when I was struggling for an answer or simply could not grasp a technique.

A must for anyone looking to pass their test, first time. Read it, absorb it and put into practice.
