The second volume in the series 'Hitch up and drive' deals with the driver. In a series of varied and easy to understand pictures, the film explains the technical jargon many drivers or would-be drivers have, so far regarded as 'double dutch', when they read it in the instruction manuals. This second part is an essential 'user's handbook' when it comes to putting driving lessons theory into practice. The Achenbach system becomes part of the driver's 'active vocabulary', helping the learner to close the final gaps before climbing on the box and driving away.
'Knowing the ropes' is something the leisure driver or future competition driver can now also take for granted. A tour to a coach-building workshop gives the viewer an insight into the manufacture of modern quality vehicles. In the final third part of this series, reigning world champion Michael Freund shows that Four-in-Hand driving is no magic.
