Synopsis
This new edition, in a new format for 2007, is the only official industry-standard driving manual from DSA, the Driving Standards Agency. There is no other comparable, comprehensive, official product available on the market. It is ideal for all drivers - whether learner, experienced or instructor - to help them learn and maintain safe driving skills and improve their driving technique. New for 2007 are: title to be given a new, contemporary look and feel; the existing graphics are to be replaced by photographs to give a clearer explanation of the topics discussed, better aid comprehension and generally make content easier to understand; new content to mirror and further expand on the new content in the new edition of "The Official Highway Code" (published June 2007, ISBN 9780115528149); and new content, deriving from suggestions made during the Highway Code consultation exercise, which has been considered more appropriate to include in this title rather than "The Official Highway Code." It is suitable for all drivers of all road vehicles; learner, experienced and instructor; car, van, large goods, taxi and fleet drivers, plus driving schools and public libraries.

The Essential Skills
i bought this book on the recommendation of my instructor. it's clear, conscise and practical. as somene who is learnong to drive without the aid of anyone but my instructor (my choice, too many people knowing just makes me nervous!) it's perfect to pick up after a lesson and revise what i've just done. the older version my instructor had more diagrams than this primarily photo-based version, explaining the four stars but it is essential nonetheless.
