I think the OP is asking if there any specific books relating to advanced driving in vehicles other than cars.

Positioning does change to some extent, but I think that's mainly due to the size and maneuverability of large goods vehicles. If you've got the room, you can still adopt the same positions as when driving a car, but space may be at a premium and, as a consequence, the potential benefits not so great.

Forgive me if this is a thick question but I'm a little baffled by your post how can the potential benefits of having more space not be so great?. in my mind more space equals more margin for error and althought advanced driving is about keeping the biggest saftey margin possible with minimal impact on other drivers surley more space is safer and there for better regardless of the downsides to using more space? or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?Kevin wrote:
