This is the 3rd book I've bought for my kiddos and their friend. Great book!
This is an okay book. Just glanced through it quickly, but it does talk about insurance, black ice, driving in certain weather conditions, how to change a tire, get gas, riding with someone impaired and what to do. It also talks about planning in advance for unforeseen hazards that might occur. Either way, some information is what a lot of new drivers don't think about. I feel any information is better than none. But I would pursue something a little more in depth.
Useful information for my 16 year old grandson
