Description
Following in the curmudgeonly footsteps of One Grump or Two, The Grumpy Driver's Handbook is a celebration of all that is miserable and tedious on the road. Driving brings out the worst in even the most mild mannered individual and so a book on the worst habits in motoring and the 'joys' of car ownership is the natural gift for the career grump. Spurred on by endless roadworks, coned-off lanes, BMW drivers, white van men, speed cameras, lunatic cyclists, rude taxi drivers and kamikazi motorcyclists, the grump has an ocean of opportunity for expression. The Grumpy Driver's Handbook (including The Highway Grump) tackles the evils of lane swappers, caravan owners, bumper huggers, rubber neckers, light jumpers, hard shoulder cruisers, sleeping policemen and speaking policemen.
Author Biography
Cedric Grump is an international man of letters - complaint letters. In the special 2009 grumpy edition of Whos' Who (As If You Really Cared) he lists his hobbies as taunting local government officials, not returning footballs and swearing at traffic wardens.
