Introduction

He kept some of the most famous, high profile, targeted people on the planet safe. Now, for the very first time ‘The Protector’ reveals tactical and defensive driving techniques that should be covered by the Official Secrets Act

 

About The Protector 

From humble beginnings as a naive bobby on the street, The Protector worked his way through the ranks becoming a pivotal figure in combating some of the world’s most active and dangerous terrorist and paramilitary organisations. He had a particular talent for being in the right place at the right time cutting down the enemy at its core.

Millions of citizens slept soundly because The Protector didn’t!

His talents did not go unnoticed by ‘the bosses’ and he was hand-picked for numerous special assignments.

He managed surveillance and counter surveillance in Northern Ireland in the early eighties, a frightening and dangerous place for a British serviceman.

He protected the likes of Margaret Thatcher, members of the Royal Family most notably Diana. He was the personal Protector of people so important that if his was not at the very peak of his game and the enemy had succeeded, the world would have been a very different place. 

The Protector was finally retired after being run over by the very terrorist organisation he had, for so many years, hounded. 

The Protector has so many secrets to tell but he’s gagged by The Official Secrets Act and now lives a quite life in the shadows with his family.

BUT Stealth Driving is something he can talk about and in this extensive and revealing manual, he spills the beans.

Now most readers will not be not planning to go to Somalia or Afghanistan but there is so much that we can learn from the extensive training The Protector undertook that this manual will keep you safe in today’s urban jungle.

From Road rage to surveillance, from tactical driving all the way to hijacking and personal safety … it’s all here.

Enjoy! The Protector
