The driving and testing industry has undergone dramatic changes over the past few years. The many requirements involved in driving mean that, as an instructor, in addition to preparing pupils for the ordinary driving test you will need to deal with drivers at all levels of ability and be an effective teacher who can develop safe attitudes in your pupils. "The Driving Instructor's Handbook" is widely recognized in the driver training industry as the authoritative reference guide for trainee instructors. It covers every aspect of the profession, from the role and the characteristics needed to do the job well, preparation for the three ADI examination requirements (Theory and hazard perception, Driving ability and Instructional ability), through to the driving test, business skills and customer care, and driving larger vehicles. This, the fifteenth edition, has been fully updated to include sections on fleet driver training, the LGV register, CPC for lorry drivers and information about the Road Safety Act. This best-selling handbook is also valuable reading for experienced instructors as well as trainees. You will be able to update your knowledge and business style so that your methods are comparable to newly qualified competitors who may have had more thorough training.

"This book could perhaps be described as the 'bible' for our industry...It doesn't matter if you are just starting out on the rocky road to becoming a driving instructor, or whether you have been driving this road for ten years or more, you should have an up-to-date copy of this book." Association of Driving Instructors News "An up-to-date copy of The Driving Instructor's Handbook is as essential for a fully qualified instructor as it is for those seeking to pass the ADI qualifying examinations." John Lepine, MBE, General Manager, The Motor Schools Association "Covers everything an aspiring instructor needs to know." Driving School News "The reason you need to buy it is because it is the most complete reference guide for PDIs and ADIs there is." "You should have an up-to-date copy of this book." "...it is a clear and comprehensive reference guide for all those involved or wanting to get involved in this area of instruction." ADI News, March 2008
