Product Description:


Regardless of your record as a driver, everyone speeds sometimes. You are on the open road, no one around for miles, and so you step on the gas pedal. Then you experience a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach -- and in your wallet -- when you see a flashing red light in the rearview mirror. Now you can ease on down the road without paying the high price of traffic tickets, inflated insurance premiums and expensive lawyer's fees. Former New York State Trooper James M. Eagan tells you how-with invaluable tips and trade secrets that the police don't want you to know.

  • What makes a cop "tick" -- and how to use it to your advantage
  • What dates and times are safest to step on the gas and when you are most likely to get caught
  • How to avoid talking yourself into tickets
  • What stories and excuses will often work
  • How to spot an unmarked car
  • Clipping the wings off "The Bear in the Air"
  • And much more!


Whether you drive for business or pleasure -- or simply suffer from occasional leadfoot -- you cannot afford to be without this book!





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - legal techniques to beat speeding tickets
The author suggests a lot of very good ideas on how to deal not only with police officers and with the court but everything you need to know. Including things as important as being polite/considerate to the police officer. There are good suggestions and options in which you can take to limit the negative and focus on the positive.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - terrible writing but good advice
This book is excrutiatingly poorly written, with painfully unfunny sarcasm as well as a misplaced or missing comma in every other sentence. While this distracts from the advice the author gives, the usefullness of it outweighs the obnoxious writing. Anyone who speeds, which is basically everyone, would do well to read this book.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your time
Very poorly written book with very poor advice. Things like -- show some clevage, cry a lot, etc.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Written in 1990
This book, somewhat wordy, was written in 1990. There have been advances in technology in the past 13 years. There's no mention in his book on LASER devices or Ka band radar. Easy reading, yet not current. Look for another book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Read before you get your driver's license or shortly after
I don't speed. I drive on cruise control at 65mph over Bay Area interstates and lower my speed as necessary for slower zones. I stay out of fast lanes, but yet I read this book anyway.

Driving at speed limit is boring to death. And that is why people speed. Trust me, I am bored beyond belief while I am cruising along at whatever the speed limit is. To entertain myself, I look for cops! I then estimate which speeder might get pulled over first. I chose a relatively slow (0-60 in 11 sec) ... Read More
