How to Talk Your Way Out of a Traffic Ticket

Summary: Best seller
Review: HOW TO TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A TRAFFIC TICKET has been at or near the top of our best-seller list for several years. It continually sells on its own merit and reputation. Occasionally, we receive letters from satisfied, enthusiastic readers and forward them to the author, retired CHP officer David W. Kelley. We believe this book should be mandatory reading for anyone including professional drivers. It is also a perfect gift for teen-age drivers.

Summary: Eliminating tickets
Review: I don't know how to write a book review, but I do know that this book has been worth every penny to me and my husband. We have each avoided getting a ticket on two separate occasions. It has also really opened our eyes about the sensitive issue of drunk driving and how a policeman feels about it and what he will be looking for when he stops a car and smells booze on your breath. Whether you are a new driver or have been driving for 30 or more years, please read this book!

Summary: This book saved me more than once!
Review: I just became aware that this book is available on Amazon.com and felt compelled to comment about it. I first bought this book about 5 years ago and some time after reading it, I was stopped for going 40 mph in a 25 mph speed area. I followed advice I remembered from the book regarding what to say and what not to say and was let go by the Highway Patrolman. On another occasion, I was not so lucky and received a ticket. (I guess I shouldn't have made a U-turn right in front of a police car). I followed the instructions in this book about "How to win in court" and the judge ruled in my favor. This book is full of advice, tips and inside police information not available from other sources and I highly recommend it. It has certainly made me far less fearful about being stopped by the police.

Summary: Not worth it
Review: Out of 112 pages, only five deal specifically with what to say in order to talk your way out of a ticket, and the rest of the book deals with general commen sense explanations of why officers are people too, all the instances where you CAN'T talk your way out of a ticket, and very brief explanations of some courtroom defenses. While the author has good intentions and provides some basic information, this book will NOT show you how to talk your way out of a traffic ticket unless you just have dumb luck. Check out the Internet for better "scripts" and ideas. ...

Summary: This book tells the obvious
Review: The above review says it all. That is the whole book in a nutshell. Just be nice to the cop. I do that anyway. It didn't open my eyes or anything. Tells you to use common sense. I didn't need to buy the book to learn that.
