Review One
“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”

Review Two
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.

Review Three
This is a great book!! It has 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.

Review Four
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.
