About this listen

Former Top Gear Stig Ben Collins shares expert skills and wisdom refined over a 20-year career as one of the best drivers in the world - from Le Mans Series racing to NASCAR, piloting the Batmobile and dodging bullets with James Bond.

Ben's philosophy of anticipation, smoothness and speed, honed over thousands of hours of elite-level performance, is really about economy of motion - which also gives you greater control, safety and fuel efficiency. How to Drive is about driving better, not faster.

Whether you've been behind the wheel for the best part of 30 years or you bought your first L-plate 10 seconds ago, this is the stuff your instructor missed, your dad forgot and your mates pretend to know...but don't.

Even though I love the stories Ben Collins shares, his advanced driving tips elude me simply because 1. I do not have the car to do them with, and 2. if I had one, verbal instructions on how to parallel park a car while sliding it in just to not work for me.
For me I'd have loved more stories and less instructions.

Entertaining but impractical

Needs videos really for the more technical information, but otherwise adequate. I learned to be patient on the clutch when changing gears for smooth rolling

Satisfactory but leaves the user wanting

This is well worth a listen if you love driving and want to pick up some very handy tips. Some of the tips could save your life. It also gives you more knowledge on how and why your car behaves in situations and how to safely correct. Highly recommend.

Good listen for driving lovers. loved it.

I didn’t realise this was a book that actually tells you how to drive! Although there are some interesting bits and a few good anecdotes. Some bits are a little patronising and it sounds like it was recorded on a potato. That said I still kind-of enjoyed it.

A good book but not what I expected
