The IAM should bin it. It's vague, and a couple of my latest associates have said "I've read it, and to be honest I thought I was doing all of it". They weren't.
Roadcraft is so much clearer.

I had no idea this was in the pipeline.

I agree.
I find too many people get the wrong end of the stick when they read the book. The classic problem being that the associate spends the time in the build up to the first run trying to avoid any firm braking, to be 'smooth'. I then spend the next few weeks bullying them to brake harder so they can enter hazards at a safe speed without driving like a granny
Of course, if people can read they can always misinterpret. But for me, roadcraft is much more to the point, and has fewer potential 'red herrings'. HTBABD is too cluttered, and too much of a personal view.
