    If it's for the theory test just get the CD. :)
    I only got 2 wrong and looked at it for about an hour.
    Rules of the road book is dull though I can see it now, the green, read and blue sections and little astrix beside the answers.

    If its for the practical driving Test... I always recommend the book called "GET IT" Its concise and written in plain english so to me it makes understanding the test much easier and explains how the examiners will be marking you. It basically runs through the test from start to finish.

    I admit it's good but it's orientated exactly for the test. If you are looking to improve your general driving, it wouldn't be the best. Although I found it great after I failed my first test, as it contains a page of information about each possible fault (e.g. observation turning right, position turning right, progress on the straight, reaction to hazards)

    If you're going for the theory test, there's nothing better than the CD. Just keep doing the practice tests on it and soon you'll have had memorised all the answers to the tricky questions. I did that and I managed to get all 40 questions right in my car theory test. I even finished the test in half the time. I recognised all the questions from the CD and knew the right answers for them. Also doing the practice/mock test in the CD is a lot more stimulating then reading through the questions in the book.

    If you're looking for a book for the driving test, I'ld say don't bother. Just find a good instructor and practice as much as you can. That's the only thing that can pass you on the test.
