Would you rather be run over by a monster truck or a supercar? Would you drive a dragster or a tank? These diabolical situations and more will have you running for cover as you plunge into a series of fiendish questions and answers. Kids will face some some sticky situations (and some rubber-burning, tyre screeching ones too!) from the world of mega transport vehicles, and they will have to decide which path to take, along with solving some tricky brain-tastic challenges. Young school students will have fun with this title.
