Summary

Blackstone's Police Manual Volume 3: Road Policing 2010 is part of a series of leading police reference texts in the UK. In addition to being the only offical study guides for the police promotion examinations in England and Wales, and a recognized text for student police officers, the Manuals have quickly established themselves as the definitive reference sources for all who have involvement with police law and procedure. The Manuals have been written in consultation with police forces across England and Wales, and are endorsed by the National Policing Improvement Agency, for OSPRE Part 1 Promotion Examinations. Blackstone's Police Manual Volume 3: Road Policing 2010 covers all aspects of road traffic law from a police officer's perspective. The 2010 edition has been fully updated to incorporate all recent legislative developments including the introduction of two new offences under the Road Safety Act 2006 - causing death by careless driving and causing death by driving while unlicensed, uninsured or while disqualified, and a new system of graduated fixed penalties enabling for variable fixed penalties to be applied to offenders. The Manuals continue to be the most accessible, relevant, and focussed revision materials for Promotion Examinations. They are widely used in the professional development of police officers in a variety of roles making them essential reading for anyone with an interest in police and criminal law. Whether you are a serving police officer or police trainer, a practitioner, advisor, or researcher, Blackstone's Police Manuals 2010 are an essential purchase. The other three titles in the series are: Volume 1: Crime 2010, Volume 2: Evidence and Procedure 2010, Volume 4: General Police Duties 2010.
