Skid Marks - Safe Driving Handbook

SKID MARKS is not a "how to drive" book. It is a book for people who are already good drivers, who already have considerable experience behind the wheel. It is also not a rehash of all the things that good and experienced drivers already know. Or of all the standard safe-driving advice that has little relation to the real world. 

Instead, Skid Marks has dozens of very useful things that every good driver really ought to know, and none of the really obvious stuff that everyone already knows. Such as the following... 

• How do you stay right side up if you drive off the road? (See page 28.) 
• When do you have the worst chance of being rear-ended? (See page 38.) 
• Why should you never fill your gas tank right to the brim? (See page 14.) 
• What is the most common serious safety defect on vehicles on the road today? (See page 11.) 
• Who is most likely to hit you on the expressway? (See page 37.)
• Where do you steer when you see a moose on the road? (See page 26.)

You will find these other topics included in Skid Marks

• Driving in Fog
• Anti-Lock Breaks
• Black Ice
• No Skidding
• The S-Turn

And much, much more…
