Book Review: A nice Little Driving Book
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Driving Book" by Karen Gravelle with illustrations by Helen Flook is a book with teen drivers in mind. While the directions might be common knowledge to the driving veteran, it covers a wide variety of topics over the 161 pages of the main text. Something more is needed. You need a set of rules of the road and a drivers code of conduct. You need to cover basic aspects of residential zones, arterial zones and high-speed zones. You've got to give teenagers and teen drivers the driving knowledge they need to survive in an asphalt jungle full of untamed drivers, and you can't do that with information that is free in the local drivers guide. Having the right to offer an alternative, I suggest Highliner: The Nature, Philosophy and Science of Automobile Driving. If you have a young driver who hardly knows what's going on out there, then the Driving book is okay. The novelistic illustrations make it more interesting to read than the driver's manual. Good companion books to the Driving book are Timothy C. Smith's Crashproof Your Kids--Make Your Teen A Safer, Smarter Driver and Highliner, which delve deeper into driver's ed and being a driver's bible, in addition to good driving books that focus on driver's education to ace the driving test and drive right for teen drivers as well as driving veterans.
The Driving Book is a great starter for new drivers, in addition to Crashproof your Kids and Highliner.
