    Jeffrey Hammond

    Hello Readers, I hope you find my book useful, I have been working as a Driving Instructor for 18 years here in the UK. There are lots of books available that are intended to help you pass the Test, including many written and published by the Driving Standards Agency, the body that conducts Driving Tests, However many of them have a lot of "waffle", and some carry advertising directing you to one Driving School or another. My guide is intended for those can drive, and need a constant reminder of what to do to avoid failing. But you still need an instructor, you cannot learn by only reading a book. A printed copy is available from your local bookshop,(useful for making notes in the margins), or online retailers. Good Reading, and Safe Driving!, Jeff. PS Recently I had a pupil pass his Test with no driving faults recorded, only around 250 of the 1,6OO,OOO Tests a year are "clean sheets", so very well done Fred!
