Last time I saw the HC it was on sale in a hospital shop. Which was
appropriate!

If by 'filling stations' (sorry but creeping Americanisms are a pet
hate) you mean petrol stations, I'm afraid I don't frequent them that
often. Don't see why I should volunteer to pay more tax.

If that's the HMSO book, I have it and rate it highly.

Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the

Never heard of it. Well, until today in another thread that is.

Bike shop - Never looked (My local "bike shop" is a Halfords)
Filling station - Never looked (always pay by credit card at the pump)

Cyclists: how many of you are aware of the existence of Cyclecraft, the
"official" advanced cycling manual?

Know of it. Had it recommended several times. Never read it. Amazon
failed to get it for me last year (out of stock). The Stationery
Office were also out of stock and still hold an open order from me.

Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the
"official" advanced driving manual?

Know of it. Read it. Bought it from WHSmith.

It only had a few pages but at least they all worked.
Email: Put only the word "richard" before the @ sign.

I refuse to cross-post and feed the trolls.

Neither.

Heard of it, never read it. I do have a Cycling Proficiency certificate ;-)

I thought the DoT manual was "Driving". Has it been renamed?

I have it (somewhere) and have read it, and try to drive in accordance with
what it says (having first read it before taking my IAM car test)

A quick google suggests that I first heard of the title in 1999. As I
say, I have not yet read it, but some of the points made in it have
been repeated on URC many times. I am still waiting for my copy to
arrive.

I re-read the Highway Code* a couple of years ago. I've never heard of
either the other two and I am both cyclist and motorist.

* This is true but I confess to ulterior motive. I abhor the habit many
motorists have of parking on the pavement and wanted to check what the
Highway Code says about it. And cars should not be on the pavement.

See HC at filling stations
See HC & Cyclecraft at some bike shops
Never seen Cyclecraft or Roadcraft at filling stations.

Have got it.

Drivers: how many of you are aware of the existence of Roadcraft, the

Yes, if that's the police driving training one. But I don't own a copy.
