juliebihn's review
Keep within the legal limit of speed all the time except on a good and clear stretch of road, where there happen to be no "blind" corners or dangerous cross-roads or traffic. Then there is no real harm done to any one in trying to see what you can get out of your car for a short spurt.
This was a fun, breezy read. Levitt, an accomplished motoriste herself, offers 1909 advice to women who might be interested in driving their own cars instead of being chauffered.
I don't know much about cars (modern or Edwardian), and I found the work largely, if not entirely, accessible and easy to understand. I think reading this book, or another period guide for new drivers, would be invaluable to any historical author whose characters use, or even ride in, cars in the era.
