It it not only targeted at those who want to learn advanced techniques, but all those who lack confidence either overall or in specific areas. It covers not only the basic advanced driving techniques, but also introduces mental strategies such as observation and cynicism.

With plenty of supporting resource material, including further reading and useful diagrams, it will be an ideal companion for motorists old and new.
