    Where can I get this quickly ? New or used is all the same.

    I've tried Eason's, but they only have it as DVD, and saying there is no book.........which of course is daft, seeing as I got my hardcopy from them before......:rolleyes:

    Anyhoo, I need copy for someone else a.s.a.p - test on 4th Sept.

    this one, btw: http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Roadcraft-Police-Riders-Motorcycling/dp/011341143X

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    You can buy it here from Amazon UK

    Order it now you should have it in the next week or so, they're usually
    quite quick.

    It's hard to know if anyone in Galway would have one in stock...

    Not needed for the test IMO, would help for Rospa and the likes of that but the test here is pretty basic.

    I presume you don't mean that the rospa test is basic, but the doe test. It is the same as the UK rospa test.
    The book isn't needed for the test per se, rather the principles involved in rospa riding.

    If it's for the exam, there are some online resources that provide information on the system of motorcycle control.

    My copy of the book is out on loan so I can't help there, but it is well worth a read even if someone isn't doing the exam.

    ..got one from a 'lurker' thanks, so all is well.

    No, it's not the 'test' (bad choice of words), it's Bikesafe, and then RoSPA I want it for.

    Tks all!
