"In this hilarious parody of a how-to manual, Zack and Larry Arnstein cover every driving situation that has ever caused damage or even just annoyance. From driver's ed to car alarms and tailgating to drunk driving, it’s all here, every kind of bad driving situation and opportunity for making things worse that you can think of and, impossible as it may seem, even more. . . . While The Bad Driver’s Handbook makes a perfect anonymous gift for someone whose driving terrifies you, make sure you read the book before passing it on. Most of us spend a major part of our lives dealing with traffic, cars, and driving, but we don’t spend nearly enough time laughing about them."

The book shares liberating truths about driving that you won’t see in any DMV Handbook . . . This book is truly funny! . . . The authors could end up with the Noble Peace Prize!”

“Finally someone has come along and, with the appropriate scholarly detachment, put all of our long-running love affair with awful driving into its proper historical and social context. OK, maybe not. But what Zack and Larry Arnstein, authors of The Bad Driver’s Handbook, have done is create a hysterically funny guidebook to the most stupid, outrageous ways we act out on the road.”
