Recently I got a book titled “Safe Driving – The driving manual and rules of the road” published by Hubert Ebner which is an Indo-Austrian joint venture established to develop the infrastructure of driver training systems in India. Their academy is at Chirag Enclave, where they impart training to driving instructors and post license drivers. It is one of the best driving manuals, which I recommend any driver should go through before hitting the roads. This book has been especially written with reference to Indian context where the modes of transport vary from a bullock cart and tractors to vrooming sports cars. This manual as Hubert Ebner claims is perhaps the first major initiative to bring forth a comprehensive teaching - learning guide coupled with an interactive Learning System for training schools. The manual which covers all the necessary aspects for safe driving aims at supporting driver training instructors, motor licensing officers, as well as the drivers.From Different types of road users and informing about the Rules of the Road, this manual also gives you an advisory regarding some important components about your vehicle (basically cars) and how to drive it comfortably (this one for beginners). Another important issue that they have explained is how to drive defensively on Indian roads. This is a very significant aspect of driving and few drivers in Delhi practice it. Another chapter is on vehicle care and basic maintenance, which I think should be read by owners of self-driven cars. I recommend this book to every road user especially Delhi drivers as they don’t know even the basic rules of the road. Priced at Rs 198/-, you can contact Hubert Ebner @ 26445697.
