A very British book on ambulance driving.
If you are interested in the subject and want to improve your driving of ambulances ( seriously, that is something that I do and would like to improve at) then this is a good book to read. If any one of the recommendations on this book is useful to you, then it is time well spent.
HOWEVER, it needs to be stated that one area where British English and American English are most different is in the area of automobile and driving terminology. If, like me, you are American then the text can get confusing. ( windscreen, bonnet, saloon are all British terms for vehicle parts for instance. Other terms and references were also confusing. ) Honestly, I considered giving a lower rating due to this but it just didn't seem fair to the book or author to do so. Still, non-UK readers should consider carefully before choosing to read this.

I wish I hadn’t spent the past few weeks reading this but also kinda important for work so I forgive it. Again, no idea why you’d read it if not required for response training so I ask anyone looking at reviews, why?
