I was actually looking for something along the lines of executive protection detail driving. This book is not it! However, it does seem to cover all the bases for teaching my daughter the basics of how and why a vehicle reacts the way it does and other good safety tips for beginner drivers.

I have actually started driving since a a bit more than a year ago. I was taught the basics by my friends, but I knew i had to learn more than those "basics", so I bought a lot of books and read them on my spare time. This book written by Scotti is something that really helped me a lot because it has a lot of information and detailed explanations, including the physics involved in driving. Somehow, the knowledge I gained here helped me become a more confident and a reliable driver. I would recommend this book for all who really need to become good drivers. Don't just drive, drive safely, well and correctly! This is the essence of the book. And how to do that? It's in this book.

Most of the people use their cars everyday, either for pleasure, or because they have to - when there is no other way. They probably carry other people inside there cars, or even small children. The responsibility is very high and the risk of the danger very close if you are not paying attention to those few - sometimes timeless tips mentioned in this book. Every driver behind the wheel should read this book and learn how to control / inspect their vehicle in order to avoid the unexpected.

As a concerned father, I bought this book with the idea that it might be something my daughter could benefit from. Well, after reading it and discovering that, even after twenty plus years behind the wheel I still have a lot learn I've got to say that this is a must read for anyone who gets behind the wheel. It is well written and easy to read and got my daughter to finally start asking some great questions about driving.

I took the liberty of "googling" Tony Scotti's name and was impressed with how much was out there. Even has his own websites (www.securitydriver.com and www. vehicledynamics.net). Though most of the content may not be suitable for the young driver, it certainly puts safe driving in a new light.

This is a great book!! Lots of useful information that the everyday person can use. It is written in a way that is easy to understand. As a new mom the information on car seats was very valuable.
I highly recommend this book. We all spend ALOT of time driving and the more information we have the better!!!!

I bought this book for a teenage boy who was getting his first car on his 16th birthday.

Surprisingly, he loves the book and finds it useful.

Learning to drive doesn't stop with the helpful but inadequate Drivers Education classes, and this book picks up where that left off. Nothing can substitute for experience, but this book does help.

Young drivers have the most accidents. Besides, 16 year old boys are hard to buy for...ha, so I give this 4 stars. Even the some of most experienced drivers have developed bad habits over the years, so brushing up by reading this book is a good idea.

I was searching for resources from which I could develop an Advanced Driving Skills course when I came across this book. It is not only easy to read but pulls you into the author's no nonsense, straightforward, non-wordy communication of essential knowledge and skills to operate a motor vehicle in our sometimes crowded and busy streets and highways. The Driver's Education Teacher's Guide and PowerPoint Presentation are the frosting and filling for this excellent cake! Not only great tools for teaching informed and safe driving, also an excellent personal skills review for anyone who drives a vehicle in today's world. Check out the Kindle "Learn to Drive Like a Pro" for a great resources at your finger tips!
