I read the intro and first chapter last night after my copy finally arrived from Amazon. Must admit, it's a pretty good book from the little I've read so far - Looking forward to finishing it off this week and doing the advanced driving day on saturday, which is going to based on much from this book.

It's worth a read.

Ah, Roadcraft, I remember it well. Watch out for the break/gear overlap and remember your observation links.

Edit: Hey, this is my 3002nd post! Just about 20 thousand behind you Jase!

Ha, I've literally just text my dad asking to borrow his copy... Then I noticed this thread two seconds later... Spooky

Just got myself the Roadcraft DVD. Looking forward to watching it.

Jason. I surgest you go out for a few drives before saturday and try and teach yourself. Limit points is good fun.

Given I have to show up on saturday with my car in good working order, I don't fancy stuffing it off before I've been actually taught something by a professional.

I will digest the theory and see how it gets me.

I have to admit the first chaptor about mental attitude etc was pretty much what I believe now. :thunbup: I.e. avoiding red mist which will limit observational ability etc.

A read of the highway code is also recomended.

Stopping distance at 90mph is 50 feet right? :confused: I think I know enough of the highway code to get by. The same may not be said for this roadcraft book if I don't finish it by friday night.

Reading its not a problem. Its putting it into practice.

Don't bother learning stopping distances or they'll laugh at you :P Learn speed limits for various vehicles, signs and what the paint on the road means you can and can't do

the dvd is good, certainly explains some of the stuff abit clearer.
