A perennial resource which makes for tedious, but beneficial, reading

I found the first ten sections of this book extremely beneficial when I was taking lessons. Each time I had a problem grasping the logic behind a particular driving scenario, I referred back this book. In particular, I found re-reading the sections entitled `on the road', `bends and junctions' and `manoeuvring' greatly improved my driving prior to my test. I also benefited from reading sections 11 to 13 before taking my Pass-Plus, as they refer to driving on motorways, all-weather driving and driving at night. I plan to hold onto this book because you can so easily refer back to it in order to dispel any uncertainties you might have about driving. The later sections on topics like European driving and breakdowns are also bound to be of use at some point.

Essential

This is the Driving Standards Agency bible, and as such it tends to be treated with reverence, as it should be. It isn't the most exciting book on the subject, there's no jokes or cartoons, but it explains everything simply and effectively, and is recommended to learners and instructors alike for exactly this reason. A comprehensive manual.

Essential Reference for all drivers

OK, I passed my test some five years' ago so I bought this to refresh my knowledge. This is the perfect companion to the Highway Code as, unlike the H'code, this explains the practical for the theory of driving. Considering how vague the Highway Code is in places this book is essential for all drivers, not just learners. The chapter on motorways is particularly of importance as learners do not get experience of motorways as part of their tuition.
