Beskrivning

Everyday on the roads, emergencies happen without warning. This well-illustrated book gives practical advice for those driving situations that we all hope will never happen. Authoritative advice on how to cope with various roadside emergencies is given by the Police, Fire, and Ambulance emergency services, some drawing from personal experiences. Basic roadside first-aid advice is outlined, as well as suggestions about safety equipment that should be carried in a vehicle. Being a lone driver brings its own practical problems, and this book shows how to avoid trouble, and situations that can occur in remote car parks. The more recent crime of car-jacking is examined and precautionary steps suggested. Where relevant, basic legal advice relating to the responsibilities of everyone that may be involved in driving emergencies is offered.

Recensioner i media

One could read through this little handbook in half an hour. Frequent refreshers when one has a few idle minutes to fill could commit the routines to memory. The book is small enough to have to hand in any vehicle and the checklists ... could be hastily consulted in the heat of many an incident. The book is copiously illustrated for additional impact.
