Informative and interesting
Very interesting content addressing the mental and phycological aspects involved in becoming a better driver.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well worth a read
A very interesting book, that focussing on drivers attitudes rather than pure driving skills. Well worth a read if only to make more sense of how others may be behaving on the roads, and why.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
