Teaches essential skills
This book helped me to become much more aware of many issues relating to driving, including improving some of my skills, and also increasing my awareness of some of my own bad driving habits. But really, people who don't like the way I drive should just stay off the sidewalk.

We really need it!
This author has written a well put-together book, over all the chapters he has covered the topics very well.All the things he said in the book are true about the drivers I see today, I still see others driving crazy.It was easy to read.There are chapters about some psychology, some physical things and some that were spiritual.Matthew discusses a lot.I liked the history of it all, it is fascinating to read about.I only wished that people would realize about what's going on out there more.It took a lot of courage to admit what he did, like to follow people after they made him mad.This is well thought out.I was angry when someone got my copy!I would say to get your own copy and try to see what he's telling you.The bookmark in the back said he rushed through the editing to get done before the year 2000 so he apologized for "mistakes that have already been corrected."Then it said that was his whole point, to admit that he made mistakes and not to try and cover it up, like when some drivers don't admit they have a problem when they do.I got it after a bit.That was admirable.I'm looking forward to see the next one.

A must read for anyone who is an automotive enthusiast.
Lesley Hazleton's book "Confessions of a Fast Woman" is a thought-provoking journey into the mind of a socially conscious gear-head.She raises questions publicly that anyone with a passion for cars should have asked themselves.Her descriptions of speed and adrenaline grab the reader's attention for the rest of the book.I believe that the breaking of gender roles is only of small importance to this work, the book would have been just as profound if a man wrote it.What distinguishes this book from other speed-reading is the level at which she questions and analyzes her addiction to the internal combustion engine.The control and power issues she attacks are something that nearly all drivers have felt, but rarely discuss. ...

This book was really funny.I remember many of the mishaps I had with my driving instructor, and I know my friends did many of these things too.This book would have really helped if I had it before I had instructions. ... Read more
