Bruce won the Guild\u2019s Safety Award, presented in memory of former IAM (Institute of Advance Motorists ) Chief Executive Christopher Bullock MBE, which was sponsored by the IAM.<\/p>\n

Bruce\u2019s award-winning book \u201cThe RAC Essential Driver\u2019s Handbook\u201d gives guidance to motorists about how to avoid or deal with a variety of emergencies that can occur whilst driving. It is specifically targeted at young drivers who may not anticipate how to cope with some of the pitfalls of motoring such as breakdowns, accidents or just being a lone driver.<\/p>\n

Bruce\u2019s book was especially praised for its depth of research in front of the two hundred diners.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was lost for words when my name was announced,\u201d he said, \u201cwhich will really surprise my students! A lot of content for the book has come through several decades of driving and then applying academic analysis with the help of the relevant experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben Schofield, Communications Manager of the IAM, presented Bruce with the magnificent trophy at the much-anticipated event.<\/p>\n

His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent was himself awarded The Guild of Motoring Writers’ brand new Special Award for Contribution to Motoring supported by Kia Motors UK.<\/p>\n

Bruce\u2019s book benefited from advice readily provided by Dorset\u2019s Emergency Services and is published on behalf of the RAC by Veloce which is itself based in Poundbury in Dorchester.<\/p>\n
