The combination of unskilled driver and car is one of man's most dangerous weapons. Too few drivers understand the simple scientific principles on which a car operates or have had proper driving instruction. In "Driving Today and Tomorrow" Margaret O. Hyde … explains with admirable clarity the mechanics of the automobile, and its maintenance and discusses safe driving methods, the causes of accidents and ways to avoid them. This is a fine book for a beginning driver to read before he—or she—gets behind the wheel.
