complete disappointment
When it is considered that lives are at risk if heavy vehicles are not driven well, it is horrifying that the official guide how to do it should be so flawed. So it's appropriate that there's a disclaimer in the small print. The book tells us how a Diesel engine works, and correctly states that there is a pressure relief valve that controls the oil pressure. It then goes on to tell us that over-filling the sump will increase the oil pressure. Anyone who knows anything about engines will fall about laughing at that one. What kind of review process allows such howlers to get into print? It gets worse. Anyone with schoolboy or better knowledge of physics will cringe in horror as terms like kinetic energy and momentum are mis-defined and mass and weight seem to be interchangeable. Isaac Newton would throw up. Although there are plenty of photographs in the book, not one of them has a caption. That's right; they are not meant to be educational, they're there to be pretty. Although it's a killer, there's not a word here about what causes slow roll-over or how to avoid it. Even the title is a misnomer. I was hoping to find advice about actually driving a large vehicle. I mean how it works geometrically at a turning or junction, about how the rear axle points to the centre of the turn. But there's nothing about that at all. It's just as well there are some good driving schools and instructors to fill in where this book abdicates.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good for people new to the industry.
Not a bad book at all but a fair amount of it's content is repeated frequently and unnecessarily.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
