Seeking Recommendations for Driving Technique Books Comparable to "Stick and Rudder"

paul@techy.news to Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world – 7 points –

Hello everyone,

I'm on the lookout for books that delve into the nuances of driving on the US public road system, with a focus similar to what "Stick and Rudder" offers for flying. I've recently read "How to Drive" by The Stig and I'm eager to explore more in this genre.

Specifically, I'm interested in books that offer detailed, technical insights into driving – be it for everyday road use or advanced driving skills. I'm fascinated by the depth and detail found in "Stick and Rudder" regarding flying, and I'm hoping to find something of a similar caliber related to driving.

Does anyone have recommendations for books that provide a comprehensive and technical approach to driving, especially those that might be beneficial for someone looking to deepen their understanding and skills on the road?

Any suggestions for titles or authors to explore would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

If you're interested in motorsports, Going Faster! From Skip Barber is how I learned to drive.

Nah, not really interested in motorsports. More about the physics of driving and how that comes up when driving on a road. For example, the "How to Drive" book I mentioned goes into detail about how your weight shifts as you accelerate and decelerate and tells you how to take that into account as you are turning.

I want to improve my mental model about what the car is doing.
