Review
Attractively presented in strong, positive colours highlighted by the many illustrations, section titles and clear, concise texts, it is a mine of essential, instantly assimilable information... At £9.99, this guide is an invaluable source of information and revision - and, indeed, a potential life saver for coach drivers and their passengers, who face daily the hazards infesting today's often ill-maintained and overcrowded highways. --Review in The ROSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal (December 2008)

Very Basic Book
This is an extremely basic and slim introduction to the new driver CPC. It represents poor value for money. The official DSA Guide for bus and coach drivers may prove a better bet. This particular book will not expand your knowledge and with only a dozen sample questions will not really help you pass.

virtually useless
This book gave almost NO help in learning for the test. I gained more insight and knowledge staring at a cat on my shed. I do not know what alternatives wouold be best as i am currently still looking.

Alright with it
Good condition and cheap . Well recommended if you are to get your bus driver lifence
