Knowing the Rules Gives You an Edge in the Game

Guilty or innocent, you want to be treated fairly. Knowing the game will give you an edge in playing it. This book tells you all about the game.Alex Carroll describes why tickets are such a huge problem, the different types of tickets, the DMV and your driving record, how to avoid tickets in the first place (radar detectors), how to act when pulled over, options once you get a ticket, strategies in fighting a ticket, the advantages of a lawyer, traffic court, arraignment, pre-trial motions, traffic school, field sobriety tests, insurance and much more. Alex Carroll accumulated 16 tickets before he learned to watch for cops and discovered how to fight a ticket. He found that all the ticket recipients in the courtroom were as hopelessly lost as he was. He vowed to study the system and help others like him. As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I admire Alex's work and recommend this book to anyone who drives.

This book is worth its weight in diamonds!!!

I am an outside salesperson that racks up 50K miles a year on the roads of this fine country. After falling into a speed trap in a school-zone, I faced a minimum $300 fine and points on my license. I heard Mr. Carroll on a talk radio show a few months before, and not wanting to shell out $300 for a crime I didn't commit (really), I purchased his book. Using the tips included, I plead innocent, and the ticket was thrown out. I have since beaten 6 false tickets, and I recommend this book to everyone I know. I would strongly recommend it even if it cost $100. A couple of bucks can save you hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in tickets, insurance, and time. This book is on your side when the entire law enforcement quota system is against you! Buy this book, you will be glad you did!

Beat that Ticket!!!

I followed the guidelines detailed in this book for fighting my speeding ticket. I reduced my fine as well as the citation and therefore also the points on license. I started with a 53mph in a 25mph zone resulting in a $160 fine and 3 points in my license. I used this book to prepare for court and reduced my fine to $55 and the citation to 0 points! This book works by pointing out flaws in the system. This book has more than paid for itself, and I've lent it to many other friends as well. BUY THIS BOOK!
