Two families out of five are car owners—the others are hitch-hikers, taxi-users, or wiser.

The daily Press, radio and TV are all concerned about the problem of the motor car but few satisfactory solutions have been put forward. Motorists are becoming haggard with auto-frustration; their memories are failing under the strain of remembering regulations and their eyes are developing colour-blindness due to constant exposure to many-hued signs, symbols and road markings.

Something had to be done. This is it.

George Haines has studied the question thoroughly: the newcomer to motoring will find advice on choosing a car and some notes on hitherto unnoted accessories of the greatest futility. The learner-driver will discover entirely unheard-of evolutions with a vehicle, while those who have been on the road for years will at last discover what some of the other drivers are doing.

There's also advice on concealing a vehicle from no-parking patrols and evading the advances of thumbwaggers, alibis for awkward occasions and hints on the disposal of a car. Brian Walker's brilliant drawings more than amplify the text.

If motoring is getting the better of you, this book will tell you why.
