I purchased this book after receiving a ticket and deciding to fight it in court. I was looking for some information about RADAR and court room procedures. The book has good general suggestions and is informative in that regard. As far as court room procedure and how to subpeona information and rules of discovery it has none. I don't have time to go to Law School before my court date so I need some quick information on the how to's. This book is short on those. If you need to know how to act in front of a cop that just stopped you, buy this book. If you need to know how to actually fight your ticket, subpeona evidence, create your defense and win in court check out the other suggestions.

I got a ticket 3 hour drive away from my home in the amount of $1561.00 for speeding(15 miles over limit), expired registration, and no proof of insurance. It was my fault, but the amount was far from reasonable. After contemplating paying off the entire amount for a few days, I decided to fight it since I've got nothing to lose. I started looking for help on the internet and found out about the author and his book. This book, unlike a few other books out there dealing with the same issues, does not just give you the information and stop there. Mr. Leiding is on our side, not only telling us the options we have but guides us to the better way and tells us why it's better. I ended up paying only $103.00 with no DMV points. I think everyone with a valid driver license should own this book. Oddly enough, knowing more about fighting an unfair ticket makes me want to drive more safely. It's empowering to know that you can win, but it's still a lot of hassle. And, when you're a safe driver, you definitely have a better chance of winning. This book saved me money, time, insurance rate, and most importantly, my self-esteem. This little book surpasses its dollar value after the first paragraph. If a $15.00 purchase can save me $1400.00, I'll do it again.

Upon finishing Attorney at Law Mel D. Leiding's useful guide of "206 Tips, Tricks & Techniques," much was put into perspective with regard to traffic cops, traffic citations, and the legal system. From proper attitude toward a ticketing officer to what should or should not be said at court, Leiding's guide is imperative for any motorist so they may be educated and informed. A practical guide which on the back cover states the book was written, "in non-legalese - plain English." This statement could not be more truthful. I checked other, similar guides and most had me confused with legal mumbo-jumbo. Easy to read and follow, I would recommend this traffic survival guide to any motorist who just received their license or to anyone who still has a sour taste in their mouth from the last ticket they received or the last trip they took to traffic court. Parents with 16 year-old "new" drivers, help your children learn how to become responsible on the road. This book helps the motorist prepare. You, the driver, are not helpless and simply in the grasp of law enforcement. Using techniques described by Mr. Leiding I recently was let go on a traffic stop with simply a warning. I have received numerous tickets in the past and tryed to talk my way out of each one of them, to no avail. It is not coincidence that I was only given a warning, thank you Mr. Leiding!

This book is not too bad. It is full of great tips and tactics. But alot of it is common sense. If you really want to beat a speeding ticket and want to learn all about the equipment the police use to nail you, I suggest you buy the book called The Educated Guide to Speeding Tickets by Richard Wallace. He is an ex cop and who knows more about radar, speeding tickets than a cop. He has written a great book. His book helped me beat 2 speeding tickets so far. You can buy it right here at Amazon.

interesting book, but more of a prevention. It doesn't do much good after you've gotten the ticket.

The book is good, basically gave advice on different areas and what to say and not to say when stopped by the cops, some excuses to give so you might not get issued a ticket, apart from that, i really didn't see logical ways that i can hold on to win a traffic case in court rather than the book talking about procedures in court which one already knows if you've been to any traffic court.

Reading this book and following the steps gave me a VICTORY on my day in court. This book, a great list of questions for the officer about my particular infraction (from the web), and the vehicle codes, were the only materials I used. I felt comfortable presenting my case and beating the wrap. It was awesome. The judge said he believed that I was indeed driving safely that day, "case dismissed". And I now *know* that I was truly not guilty. Using what I learned, I also assisted my mother in getting out of a Jaywalking ticket! I definitely recommend it for it's straightforwardness and simplicity and it's thoroughness.

A book with quick review of how to fight ur ticket. It provides some good tricks or tips but it didn't have details so it is good for review only.

This book is written clearly and helps you know your rights and it tells you how to say things in a case. Yes there are a lot of things in the book that are common sense but most things no one would ever think of, especially how to word your sentences.

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.
