From the sweating panic of that very first driver’s test, cars and the scary situations they inspire are a staple of modern life.

Lucky for you, every one of those situations is covered in this little book, and plenty more besides. So next time you get behind the wheel, make sure you’ve got \u003ci\u003eThe Worst-Case Scenario Pocket Guide: Driving\u003c\/i\u003e (right along with the 22 other items never to leave home without, listed on page 16).
