OverviewAfter drivers training, the education just begins...Learning how to drive can be a very stressful part of any parent's life. But when the drivers training classes are completed. When the student driver has passed all of the criteria required to receive their driver's license. Are they really prepared for what lies ahead? Even many seasoned drivers can be blindsided when purchasing a vehicle or getting it repaired let alone driving it. Is your new driver fully aware of the implications of driving without insurance or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Texting while driving has become a national epidemic claiming far too many lives of our youth. What about the financial obligations of driving? Has the student driver been instructed in this area as well?In a recent survey taken by the author, the top three concerns that parents have with the auto industry and their teen drivers are - the safety of their young drivers, the lack of trust when purchasing a vehicle and the lack of trust when getting it serviced. Getting Behind the Wheel - What Every Driver Should Know is a must for anyone who has or is thinking about acquiring and driving a car. It is especially valuable for teenagers who've just gotten their drivers' license, or college students moving a long distance from home - and would go a long way toward allaying parents' concerns in connection with these! While there are many automobile guides available on the market, none combine such material with the sort of practical information Getting Behind the Wheel provides, for example, how to identify the best make and model for your needs, how to get the best value from your warranty, how to assess the reliability of a technician and most importantly Getting Behind the Wheel stresses the importance of safe driving habits. Given our dependence on our vehicles, and the investment we put into them, an accessible and easy-to-read guide on everything involved in choosing, driving, maintaining and repairing a vehicle would give every driver greater peace of mind when faced with problems, and greater confidence in getting them addressed. Getting Behind the Wheel - What Every Driver Should Know provides exactly this. Getting Behind the Wheel covers everything from driving responsibly to selecting and buying the vehicle of your dreams to finding that reputable repair shop that you can trust. In an engaging and jargon-free style, it leads the reader through the major aspects of vehicle function and maintenance, giving them a general idea of how things work and what to look out for when things go wrong. Rademacher's more than thirty years of experience working in the vehicle service industry also means that he is able to give drivers many handy pointers on a range of related topics, including what factors to consider when choosing a vehicle, how to find the right repair shop and technician, where to go to find important information, and more.
