A guide to personal safety for drivers produced in consultation with The Suzy Lamplugh Trust. Personal Safety on the Road stresses the need to plan for personal safety and guides the reader through that process. It covers the most commonly feared crises such as road rage, breaking down in a vulnerable situation and coping after an accident, to more mundane, but potentially escalating situations such as the occupant of a car attempting to intimidate another driver. It is packed with practical, easy to follow advice on safe travelling through towns at night, parking, travelling with children, seat belts and child safety seats, and contains useful checklists on basic car maintenance and what to include in an emergency kit, as well as an accident witness form.
