John Lyon is a legend amongst the advanced driving elite
having taught high-performance driving techniques for more
than 45 years. Now he has written Advanced Driving
as the ultimate guide to pass on his knowledge.
This comprehensive and detailed book covers every aspect of
safe driving, including handling skills, planning your drive,
observation to anticipate events, cornering, overtaking,
driving at night and in bad weather. The easy-to-follow text,
photographs and diagrams take the reader through every
driving procedure, making it is the next best thing to having
a personal driving coach in the car with you.
Advanced Driving is the product of a lifetime's
vocation to improve safe driving on the roads. John Lyon was
one of the few civilian instructors at the Metropolitan
Police Driving School in the 1960s which at the time set the
highest driving standards in the world. He has taught
advanced driving techniques to thousands of people on the
High Performance Driving Course at the British School of
Motoring and subsequently through his own company. He is also
a champion racing driver having won 96 motorsport races
internationally.
Informed by John's wealth of experience, Advanced
Driving includes some surprising theories about how our
roads are engineered to slow down drivers. Examples include
tightening the radius through a blind corner which can be
deceptive for a driver approaching or obstructing the view on
an approach to a roundabout so you are forced to stop.
He also believes that the driving test should be much more
rigorous, covering more country road driving, dual
carriageways and motorway driving, and that drivers should be
incentivised to take an advanced driving course.
Advanced Driving is peppered with John's
extraordinary anecdotes, some hair-raising, some amusing, but
all instructive in what can go wrong on the road and probably
will. From a disappearing road in Hong Kong to a near miss
with a train in a Ferrari, the stories are always
enlightening. There are also stories about famous drivers,
such as Stirling Moss and Louis Chiron, who John has met over
the years.
Suitable for all drivers, be they newly qualified or
experienced,
Advanced Driving will help all keen drivers to refine
their skills and in so doing add enjoyment and safety to
their motoring.
