Hypocrisy--Too High a Price to Pay?
This book is a breath of fresh air in a world where hypocrisy runs
rampant. Political correctness applies to everyone else--never ourselves.
Conversely, Tayolor's treatment on this subject is more objective
and even-handed. His suggestions are not couched in
demagoguery but rather he seeks to resolve a
problem, that society in its short-sightedness has only
exacerbated.

Isn't it somewhat vindictive to slap a felony charge and
possibly a prison sentence on drunk drivers, especially when they
do not become involved in a collision? Moreover, even if they
do, it's just an accident, right? Drunk driving is currently
held as a felony in all 50 states. If such statutes are
justifiable, shouldn't the same venom that is thrust upon drunk
drivers also be spent on those whose driving becomes impaired by
fatigue or emotional distress? Furthermore, the same resources
spent on housing drunk drivers within prison walls, would be
better spent towards programs that administer to alcoholics,
treating the disease rather than just the symptoms. It seems
that the same government who passed and then repealed laws
governing Prohibition should again reconsider its position
concerning drunk driving.

I found this book very helpful in writing a research paper concerning
this issue. The ideas expressed here were not politically correct when
it was written, so the ideas here were met with skepticism.
Today, drinking and talking, is the latest rage as cell phone use
has proliferated; and so now maybe the P.C. police can reassess
their views concerning subjects of this sort.

Kudos all around for James Jacobs!

A Factual Book
I read this book for a report, and I found it very factual and helpful. I don't think it would be the kind of book someone would just pick up and read. I would only read it if I wanted to research or find information on Drunk Driving.

Product Description
The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving near Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the most-respected driving schools in the world. It's also the site of Bondurant's highly regarded police and pursuit driving course. Law enforcement officers throughout the United States know of the class and incessantly lobby their superiors for the opportunity to attend. More than 2,000 actually take the class every year. Now Bondurant and veteran law enforcement officer Ed Sanow put to print all elements of police and pursuit driving as taught by Bondurant-the terminology, the car, the road, and, of course, safety. Bondurant's methods for controlling weight transfer, following lines through corners, tail-braking, and more, are also illustrated and addressed. With the recent media focus on police pursuit driving in the U.S., this book is sure to find a place on the shelves of numerous law enforcement officials, as well as general driving enthusiasts. ...

Can't learn to race from a book
Can't learn to race from a book, but it does make me want to take the Bondurant course in person.

One of the best books.
Police and Pursuit Driving is a really good book that explains clearly to the reader how to do. It start out very basic such as how you should sit in the car, hold your hands etc to shifting weight, breaking techniques, skid control etc. Usually I never give a 5 star to any book (have never happened)unless it is very, very good but this one is almost as perfect as it could be, so for the first time a 5 star it is.

Excellent
Excellent book! Describes several concepts of how a car functions during driving and describes how to use them to your advantage. Highly recommended!

Far superior to High Performance Driving
Police and Pursuit Driving (P&P) is far superior in every way to Bondurant's High Performance Driving (HPD).Whereas over half the content of HPD is anecdotes from Bob's racing days and plugs for Bob's school and sponsors, P&P skips all that.Instead, P&P is written for busypeople -- cops -- who want "just the facts."Unless you areactually going to become a racer -- in which case, the last chapter of HPD,on buying a race car and finding sponsors, may be interesting to you --there is no useful information in HPD that isn't also covered in P&P. The special Bondurant braking techniques, cornering techniques, seatingposition, etc. -- they're all in here.Furthermore, the presentation inP&P is geared toward applying your skills on the street -- where almostall of us spend most of our time driving anyway -- rather than on thetrack.Finally, if you are interested in participating in the "highperformance driving schools" sponsored by local chapters of car clubssuch as the BMW Club or the Porsche Club, then Police and Pursuit Drivingis even more useful, because it goes over optimal techniques for the coneexercises that these clubs do in their entry-level schools, whereas HighPerformance Driving, despite its title, does not.

Bob Bondurant on Police and Pursuit Driving
This is probably the most advanced book on the subject of police driving in emergency and pursuit mode.Bob Bondurant and his co author bring together some new ideas on steering and vehicle control.The book has lots of pictures which help to explain the ideas expressed in "Police andPursuit Driving."Well Done.This book should be in every EVOCInstructor's library.
