Advanced Driving Books
Two books are recommended as background reading for advanced driving:
‘Pass your Advanced Driving Test’ published by the IAM is the most suitable for Associates. The book is an overview of safe driving technique incorporating how the System of Car Control can be used in the negotiation of hazards. All Associates are urged to buy this so as to be used in tandem with your observed runs.
'Roadcraft, The Police Drivers Manual' For those requiring a deeper understanding of advanced driving, e.g. Group Observers or the keener Associates, then this is the book for you. There is a greater emphasis on the use of the System throughout this book. Roadcraft, however, should not be used as a definitive guide to passing the advanced test.
Disclaimer:
Driving is never a black and white activity, but full of grey areas,
therefore neither I nor my fellow Observers in the St Helens Group of
Advanced Motorists are liable for any consequences you may experience as
a result of reading our advice. You are the driver. You
should be in control of your vehicle at all times.
