The third edition of the Emergency Ambulance Response Driver’s Handbook is the essential resource for all professional drivers of ambulances. It provides drivers with a safe and effective basis for their driving practice as well as an understanding of how to minimise any risk to ambulance drivers, passengers and other road users.

With an additional four chapters, this book forms a vital part of the training of any driver of emergency response vehicles.

- New chapters on Driving Commentary, Re-Prioritisation of Calls, Navigation and Smart Motorways
- Up-to-date chapters on Legal Exemptions and Non-Exemptions, Driver Responsibility, Vehicle Inspections and Safety Systems, Attending Incidents and Eco-Driving
- Learning outcomes at the beginning of each chapter
- Up-to-date legislation and current guidance
