    This book covers a wide variety of driving and car-related topics that are very helpful for new and inexperienced drivers. The small decorative illustrations and first-hand accounts from drivers give the text a light-heated and easy-reading feel, much like a "For Dummies" book. I like that the book starts with 3 chapters of "getting to know your car" topics and recommends reading the car owner's manual. There is a lot to know about a car before setting it in motion, so this is a smart way to start the book. Other chapters cover a variety of topics such as getting gas, driving in bad weather of different types, city vs. country driving, getting lost, and driving with passengers, parents, and pets. This book covers far more than I would have casually thought that a new driver needs to know. I don't think a new driver can absorb the whole text in one reading, but at the very least it makes a new driver aware of some of the challenges they'll face while driving at some point.

    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.
