The book also has a section on motorway driving when road works are in progress. It comes in three parts: the driver; on the road; and your vehicle. The FTA says it is also a useful tool for transport managers, as it will help them keep their drivers informed of their legal obligations. The handbook costs 0.75 for ETA members.
