Bad Driver's Handbook

The Bad Driver’s Handbook: Hundreds of Simple Maneuvers to Frustrate, Annoy, and Endanger Those Around You debunks the myths of the “good” and “bad” driver by describing in detail the liberating truths about driving that have long been suppressed. Novice and experienced drivers—along with those who are bewildered by the utopian fantasies about driving found in the typical DMV handbook—will find all of their questions answered by authors Larry and Zack Arnstein, who offer comical commentary and tongue-in-cheek observations on such bad driving techniques as:

Bribes, Threats and Other Secrets to Getting Your License
Intimidating Pedestrians
Making Your Car Louder
Turn Signals: Why Give Up the Element of Surprise?
Tailgating: How Close Is Not Close Enough?
Sleeping at the Wheel (Do’s & Don’ts)
Motorcycles: Faster, Cooler, Safer!
Driving When You Can No Longer See

Zack Arnstein, after failing his first three driving tests, finally passed it at the age of 16 on his fourth try, making him one of the world's most distinguished experts on driving tests. He then went on to become an authority in the related fields of law enforcement and minor traffic accidents by collecting a variety of moving violations and “fender-benders.”

Larry Arnstein, after failing his first driving test, passed it at the age of 18 on his second try. He has also collected his share of moving violations and fender-benders during a driving career which included driving taxicabs in New York City and Berkeley, California. Currently he is a model of safe driving techniques, but occasionally is subject to episodes of taxi driver flashback syndrome during which his driving is unpredictable. Larry has written for the television shows Saturday Night Live and Not Necessarily the News, for which he won two Writers Guild of America Awards. They are the coauthors of The Dog Ate My Resume and they live in Santa Monica, California.
