But is this book advertised in the national press about fighting speeding fines etc any good?

Keep seeing The Drivers' Survival Handbook advertised and finally thought I might give it a go. Only £20, but I don't wanna buy a white elephant so thought that I'd see if anyone on here has a copy/has any views.

I doubt it's as good as PH.com

Well out of date. The problem with PH and pepipoo is that whilst the information moves with the times and developing legislation, the accuracy of some of the advice is questionable.

With a book, its only as up to date as the day it went to the printers. Even books such as Wilkinsons etc which are published very year struggle to keep up, such is the pace of legislative and judicial activity.

I'd save my £20 tbh.

I have a pdf copy of "Save Your Driving Licence" which I think is the same (or very similar) thing, not really any revelations in there but I'll happily email it to you if you want.
