People are too harsh in rating this book: it is not a story with narrative but an information resource! From that perspective, it is a good book. It has the advantage that it explains almost every aspect of driving in a very clear format, in simple language (remember that it is written for the public, therefore must be understood by people of lower education). It is a great reference to just look up those rules and procedures for things you do not encounter on a regular basis I.e. Not all areas have to deal with fog very often. It has all the details, some that many don't know e.g. my colleagues did not know that a yellow sign is a warning for safety, more like recommendations, therefore yellow speed signs are not enforceable (though I am likely to follow them anyway as I am impressed with the science behind speed limits).

This book is available for free on the MTO website or is available at your local library (the odd library that doesn't have it can get it easily through inter-library loans). However, I find the book is more navigable than the website; I also like to keep it in the glove compartment just in case (FYI, some officers are impressed if you take out the book to ask what you did wrong, just as a sign of how serious you take the feedback).… (mais)
