For diehard fans of Top Gear, the name Ben Collins may be a familiar name. The second Stig from Top Gear caused quite a bit of stir back when his identity was revealed through his autobiography, resulting in law suits and a mess of issues for both himself as well as the popular TV show. The ex-Stig has made a name for himself as a stunt driver for a variety of Hollywood hits since he was let go as the Stig on the hit BBC motoring show.
Despite his colorful past with Top Gear, there’s no denying that he is one heck of a driver, having raced in Le Mans and NASCAR before his foray into show business, which is why he has made the ultimate guide to being the best — and safest — driver on the road. The book with the self-explanatory title How To Drive narrates Collins’ philosophy on driving, based on greater control as well as safer and more efficient driving that is more fun and engaging. A must read for anyone that wishes to hone their driving skills, or even for those that have just received their driver’s permit, the book should take you one step closer to owning up to your ‘I am the Stig’ t-shirt.
