Bad Driver Handbook

An absolute must for any driver! It is enjoyable from the first paragraph to the final page. Be sure to order two copies because whoever reads yours is going to want their own copy.

Really, really funny. Bought it as a gift for a new driver. Thought it conveyed excellent advise but in an extremely humourous manner. Suitable for old and young alike.

The Bad Driver's Handbook: Hundreds of Simple Maneuvers to Frustrate, Annoy, and Endanger Those Arou

The Bad Driver's Handbook: Hundreds of Simple Manoeuvres to Frustrate, Annoy, and Endanger Those Around You is a hilarious look at common driving practices. This book identifies the "Good Driver" and "Good Driving Practices" as the cause for most accidents. Such drivers clog up the roadways by not using the sidewalks and shoulders as passing lanes. They create chaos because no one expects someone to actually stop at a stop sign or use their turn signal. Moreover, everyone knows that the only true way to avoid an accident is to drive faster than everyone else. However, this book contains so much more than driving hints. Several sections are dedicated to passing the drivers test, getting out of a traffic ticket, the true purposes of insurance, special driving hand gestures, and ways to reduce driving stress as well as some very helpful advice on car maintenance and repairs. These sections are conveniently organized according to the level of the reader from very concepts to more intermediate aspects to some very advanced techniques. There is definitely a little something for everyone in this book. This book must be catching on like wildfire as I keep finding myself stuck behind drivers that adhere to the letter of this handbook. I guess I better practice my offensive driving skills!

Bad Driver's Handbook

This is a hilarious book. My two 17-year-old boys laughed out loud reading it, and I think they may have learned something in the process.

At Long Last, Voices of Reason!

Finally, a common-sense guide to managing yourself on the open road! This father/son team of writers has done it again (see The Dog Ate My Resume). Their level-headed advice is priceless regarding the wisdom of picking and choosing among the bewildering array of traffic rules and regulations, amending them at will, in order to get from here to there with a minimum of fuss and interference by other drivers. A thousand and one laughs--don't read it while driving!
