Book Reviews of Drive to Survive (Motorbooks Workshop)

Book Review: Defensive Driving Reinforced
Summary: 4 Stars

Drive to Survive was one of just a few excellent reference sources for my safe driving CD "Mind the Road - Mind the Road: Waking Hypnosis for a Conscious Commute. The advice and recommendations from this book were a practical inspiration for the suggestions my audio CD gives to drivers as they start their drive to have a safe and focused drive. I would recommend this book with my audio CD to help drivers be prepared for what potentials the road may present to them.

Summary of Drive to Survive (Motorbooks Workshop)

In the last 15 years, new crimes have littered the headlines and nightly news with terms like drive-by shooting, carkjacking, and "road rage." In this new book, combat veteran, self-defense expert, and two-time national SCCA auto racing champion Curt Rich offers an arsenal of defensive combat survival and race-car driving techniques applicable to everyday motorists who are increasingly finding themselves in life-threatening situations. What should the driver do if he or she is being followed, harassed, shot at, carjacked, or kidnapped? How can the motorist maximize braking, corner quickly, and use his or her car as a weapon? Also explained are evasive driving techniques like the bootlegger hairpin, J-turns, and running an assailant off the road. Fifty black-and-white illustrations detail the tactics described.
