Just out of curiosity, how many of you have seen copies of *both* the
Highway Code *and* either Cyclecraft or Roadcraft at the bike shops and / or filling stations you frequent? Cyclists: how many of you are aware of the existence of Cyclecraft, the "official" advanced cycling manual? Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the "official" advanced driving manual? Your votes please. -- Guy === WARNING: may contain traces of irony.

Last time I saw the HC it was on sale in a hospital shop. Which was appropriate! If by 'filling stations' (sorry but creeping Americanisms are a pet hate) you mean petrol stations, I'm afraid I don't frequent them that often. Don't see why I should volunteer to pay more tax. Cyclists: how many of you are aware of the existence of Cyclecraft, the "official" advanced cycling manual? If that's the HMSO book, I have it and rate it highly. Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the "official" advanced driving manual? Never heard of it. Well, until today in another thread that is. |

Bike shop - Never looked (My local "bike shop" is a Halfords) Filling station - Never looked (always pay by credit card at the pump) Cyclists: how many of you are aware of the existence of Cyclecraft, the "official" advanced cycling manual? Know of it. Had it recommended several times. Never read it. Amazon failed to get it for me last year (out of stock). The Stationery Office were also out of stock and still hold an open order from me. Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the "official" advanced driving manual? Know of it. Read it. Bought it from WHSmith. -- I remember when the internet was only in black & white. It only had a few pages but at least they all worked.

I refuse to cross-post and feed the trolls.

I do have a Cycling Proficiency certificate ;-) Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the "official" advanced driving manual? I thought the DoT manual was "Driving". Has it been renamed? |

The Stationery Office were also out of stock and still hold an open order from me. A quick google suggests that I first heard of the title in 1999. As I say, I have not yet read it, but some of the points made in it have been repeated on URC many times. I am still waiting for my copy to arrive. -- I remember when the internet was only in black & white. It only had a few pages but at least they all worked.

: Just out of curiosity, how many of you have seen copies of *both* the I re-read the Highway Code* a couple of years ago. I've never heard of either the other two and I am both cyclist and motorist. * This is true but I confess to ulterior motive. I abhor the habit many motorists have of parking on the pavement and wanted to check what the Highway Code says about it. And cars should not be on the pavement.

Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the "official" advanced driving manual? Yes, if that's the police driving training one. But I don't own a copy.
