More Books of the Week
(Continued from page 287.) In the welter of well-intentioned advice now being offered to motorists on every hand, there lies the possible danger of over-emphasis on " dos " and " don'ts," with the inevitable negative result. The Art of Driving, by the Times Motoring Correspondent (Times Publishing, is. 8d.), however, may be read with profit by everyone who owns a motor-car. The idea that " anybody can drive a car" is, in the writer's opinion, foolish in its implication. " The use of imagination is really the main component of safe motor-driving ; speed is quite secondary." Chapters on " Engine Starting," " When to Change Gear," " Reversing," " Steering Control," " Run- ning-in a new car," &c., though not coming strictly within the category of driving art, are written in non-technical language, and the book is of a convenient size for reference.
