I have had my fair share of speeding tickets. With the help of this book and my favorite, the Educated Guide To Speeding Tickets by Richard Wallace, I beat almost every ticket in court. Both books help prepare you for court. The Educated Guide even has a chapter on how to avoid getting stopped and ticketed in the first place. Also, the author Mr. Wallace is a former cop and he even returned my phone call to him, imagine that! These insider information books really help people fight back at a greedy system designed JUST to make money for the governments.
Thanks amazon.com for carrying such great books!

I got another speeding ticket in Connecticut, with the help of the Educated Guide to Speeding Tickets, How To Beat & Avoid Them written by an ex cop, Richard Wallace, I beat my case in a court in Connecticut. I loved the book, it really helped. Well, I got another speeding ticket, and was checking around on Amazon.com for other books on speeding tickets, and found the Traffic Ticket Defense, it looked interesting, so I bought it. The book is OK, but not great. It contains alot of info but alot of comes from common sense stuff, but the book is not as good as the Educated Guide, which is down to earth, written by a cop who tells all, it is well written, full of useful information. I just believe an excop over other people. Mr. Wallace has a website, and even returned my phone call. He has a toll free number. Anyway, enough free advertising for Mr. Wallace's book. The Traffic Ticket Defense book should be bought AFTER you buy the Educated Guide To Speeding Tickets. Together, they work well and you will win in court.

This book is great for it's intended purpose - winning your case in court. In fact, that's what the ENTIRE book is devoted to. Unlike similar books, there's no information about different types of radar/laser devices or getting out of your ticket when you get pulled over, but there is LOTS of info on how to prepare and win your case once your court date rolls around.

I had gotten 3 tickets on my record within a period of 1 year. Scared to death of the system and its threats, I was ready to plead guilty to each and every count before a friend told me about this book. Guess what--- I beat 2 out of 3 tickets and the last one got a reduced charge!!! Anyone who has a drivers license and sits behind the wheel, GET THIS BOOK!

This book is hilarious. It instructs you that, once you are stopped, the traffic court will find you guilty 90% of the time regardless of how impeccable your defense. The book does a good job of setting these expectations, and redirecting your goals. Sure, the system is an unfair game designed to take your money. However, the system is a game nonetheless, and you may as well have fun playing it.

A cop pulled me over in Brandon, Mississippi for speeding 10 miles above the speed limit. The cop didn't know exactly how fast I was going, so he wrote me a "Careless Driving" ticket. In Mississippi, the careless driving statute is worded so vaguely that there exists no effective defense against it. Calls to several lawyers as I prepared to fight the charges confirmed this fact. So I bought this book and prepared to fight the charges myself rather than spend $250-500 on an attorney.

I still lost in court, but had the most fun for $82 dollars that I have ever had in my life. Not only did the cop perjure himself several times, but by the end of the trial, the prosecutor was literally screaming at the judge, screaming at me, his face was fire engine red, his hands were shaking, and his closing arguments were nothing more than how he wasn't going to stand for this from someone who's not even a lawyer.

I have only two suggestions for the book. The book suggests seeking legal resources at the library. However, State Code and State Supreme Court case law is available online these days, and this book should really instruct the reader on how to find these resources. Secondly, while I realize that the author is attempting to provide only an outline of general traffic defense methods, the author also claims to have tried several thousand traffic cases. A few more real-world examples would have done wonders for this book.

If you have been issued a ticket then get this book. It will help you prepare and win in court. If you haven't got a ticket yet, definitly get this book; then you will know what to say and do before you get pulled over. This will make winning in court much easlier. I have read four other books on this subject and this one is the best hands down. This book has saved me from getting a ticket by knowing what to say: ie "I was following the flow of traffic". The cop wasn't happy with me, but since I was following him, he didn't write me. If I haven't read this book, I would probably admitted to speeding and tried to talk my way out of it. That wouldn't(and hasn't) worked. But knowing what to say caused the officer not to write me; Not because he didn't want too, he just know I would win in court. I wasn't admitting anything. PS: I like cops. I have had friends who were cops, but I don't like that they are forced into writing unneeded tickets by local governments who just want to raise money! If they don't write enough tickets, they lose federal highway funds and state funds. The police are told to write x number of tickets are their budget will be cut.

No, not really, but this book is a must for people who want to know how to better defend themselves in court. In today's society where you're guilty until YOU can prove yourself innocent, more people should be aware of their rights, and how to protect them. If you need that awareness, than this is your book.

Due to the material in this book, for the first time, I had the courage to try to defend myself in court... This book makes the court experience much less traumatic... Armed with this book and what I learned the first time in court, I will not hesitate to go again if necessary...

The perfect book for anyone representing themself in court against a traffic ticket. The author presents a clear, concise, step by step guide from the time you get the ticket through the court precedings. With this book, no one should just "pay the ticket". Take it to court and WIN with this easy to follow, detailed instruction book written by someone who has represented thousands of "ticket cases" in court. And the author has a good sense of humor to help you get through the process without it seeming to be "brain surgery". I won my case without even getting to court.

I recently received a speeding ticket that was unfair (aren't they all?) and had to go to court. This book helped me understand what to expect and offered some interesting ideas for defending myself. It demystified the court process for me and relieved my anxiety quite a bit.

A lot of the book assumes that the person reading it is ticked off by the arrogance of the cop who ticketed him and wants to get even. If this is your case, you will probably enjoy this book, and you might even be successful in embarrassing the officer who ticketed you.

There is also some helpful advice in the beginning of the book about what to say and do if you are stopped. I wish I'd had this all in my mind when I was stopped.

I skimmed four books on defending one's self in traffic court. As my court date approached, I decoded this one was the most useful of the four and I read it in detail. Of course, not everything the author says applies to every state or every county, but I think the author makes pretty clear what is part of usual operating procedures and what you may or may not see as part of courtroom procedures when you are being tried.
