The Woman Owner-Driver

Illustration for article titled The Woman Owner-Driver

Found this delightful tome at Half Price. Reprint of a 1928 edition.

You may have noticed my interest in figuring out what makes a good driver and how to measure it for self-improvement. The Honorable Mrs. Victor Bruce captures the qualities of a good driver:

  • Imagination
  • Quick judgment
  • Determination
  • Sympathy
  • Courtesy
  • Patience

I find myself in strong agreement.

The book also provides guidance on the cost of owning and operating a vehicle. No information is provided on how to calculate the costs at greater than 18 horsepower, sorry.

I find myself also in strong agreement with its advice on travel photography. On cameras, she opines: “No tour is complete without at least one.”

Amen, sister.
