The third edition of the Emergency Ambulance Response Driver’s Handbook is the essential resource for all professional drivers of ambulances.

It aims to provide drivers with a safe and effective basis for their driving practice and to help minimise any risk to ambulance drivers, passengers and other road users.

With an additional four chapters, this book forms a vital part of the training of any driver of emergency response vehicles.
