Summary: This was the book I was searching for!
Review: I am 36 years old and never learned to drive before. Early on my attempts at learning consisted of working with very impatient instructors who would tell me I will never learn or that I drive "like an old woman." I just knew if I could find a book that actually explained the cues and motions to use as a guide when am behind that wheel I would be able to know and anticipate when I would need to use those learned skills at the right moments. I have two issues with driving, the first is lack of time behind the wheel, and the second is getting to where I feel comfortable behind the wheel. Am halfway through this book and now when am in the car I am more confident in that this author describes what I am going to be looking for in terms of visual cues for driving on the road. Thank you for writing this book Mr. Klein it is worth the price several times over!

Summary: I wish I read it ten years ago
Review: I am 40, and I finally got my driver's license last year. I am still a very nervous driver after a year on the road, and I was hoping for some advice with the problems that I am still having. I was disappointed to realize that I'm not really the book's target audience. I gave it five stars in spite of this because I think if I had found this book when I was struggling to learn, it could have made a big difference to me. This is a book for that person who has tried to learn and thinks they never will. It is less useful for the anxious driver who can get around the neighborhood but is looking to improve skills and confidence to go to the next level. One great thing that I did get out of it is a better knowledge of what I was doing wrong all those years when I couldn't keep a car on the road.

Summary: Very helpful
Review: I am 48. I got a license when I was young but never drove because I was just too afraid. I recently moved and driving is a necessity. I bought this book and have read it through 4xs now. It's extremely helpful and reassuring. It's explained so many things that must just be second nature to others but I had to have someone tell me plainly. For example, N. Klein explains how to steer the car and how to make a turn in plain, easy to remember ways. I am driving distances of 100 miles by myself now, and although I am still cautious and nervous, I am driving! I've never written a review but I had to for this book. Thank you, Mr. Klein.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful Encouragement for the older driver
Review: I'm 47 and have made several unsuccessful attempts in the past to get my license. The difficulties I experienced seemed to be something I had to live with and could not get over. What changed my life was that I read the previous review and thought "here was hope for me".

So I ordered this book. Mr. Klein seemed to have written the book expressly for me, even though it is aimed for new and learning drivers 55+. He covered all of the concerns that older drivers have, especially the ones that I had (turns and changing lanes)with specific examples and tips. Yesterday (12/26/02) I received my driver's license. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has fear or trepidation of learning to drive and getting their license. If I can do it, you can, too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for any insecure or nervous beginner
Review: When I looked on Amazon.com for driving books, this one's title certainly got my attention. I was, and still am, a nervous driver. I've been driving for 7 months (I'm 20 years old), and have had my license for almost a year. I feel comfortable driving in my own town; it's unfamiliar areas and their more complex traffic conditions that make me uneasy. The book is right on when it says the only way to get over the fear of driving is to get behind the wheel and practice. It doesn't always have to mean a big city; I started out in my quiet, trafficless neighborhood and a cemetery! Gradually, over time, you'll eventually get more and more comfortable with driving. I still have a ways to go (like attempting to drive in Dallas, EEK!) but this book helped me to finally get started. But at least now I have some independence and can run my own errands!
