As the preface says, “this book speaks to you, not at you”. Driving is a challenge and this text simplifies the learning to a level that does not intimidate the beginner driver. Whether you’re a teen or an adult needing “brush up tips”, this book is an excellent investment. Each chapter has a separate “Objectives” page, a “Key Terms” page, self tests, chapter reviews-great for the classroom!
As a new California Driving Instructor, I’m seeking resources to make the classroom sessions more interesting and this book is IT!
Also included are chapters on preventative maintenance, purchasing or leasing a car and lots more! I’m happy to give this book a five star rating!
Rating: 5 / 5

I’ve been driving for many years. However, I have never driven in the US. I got this book in order to get an idea of the rules as I’ll be moving to the US shortly. I received this book earlier than expected from the courier – within 2 days of ordering. The information within this book is sound. However, the first day that I opened it the binding started falling apart. I do not handle books roughly. I still have books that I have used over 15 years ago and they’re still in tact. I was shocked to see the binding basically fall apart on simple flipping of the pages. I do not think that there was anything I could have done to avoid this apart from not opening the book. A very big disappointment. This might end up being a waste of money as it will soon be a stack of cards…
