About 12 years ago, I bought this book, and in the process of cleaning out some of my stuff, I found it again, I think it ought to be required reading to operate a motor vehicle, it teaches some good technique on situational awareness, and although it is a big corny in the way it tells a story, what it tells you is so useful. This book along with many of the concepts of the Smith System, will do a lot to help make you a better driver.
