| Reader Reviews |
"Great read! I always thought I was pretty knowledgeable about radar and lasers. But even with a $400 radar detector I kept getting tickets. After reading this book, I finally understand why.
Too bad nobody gave me a copy years ago. But I plan on giving one to my boy when he starts driving. It'll probably save his license, not to mention give me some peace of mind."
— Ben Hamlett III, Houston, Texas

"Paid for itself many times over within a year... Sort of a graduate course, a reference book on how not to get tickets, but a lot more fun to read.
Explained everything in terms I could understand. This guy's every bit the expert they say he is. Nice work."
— Brad Fox, Derby, VT

"Well worth the price of admission..."
— Automobile magazine |
"Takes the mystery out of the subject... Good job of explaining exactly how this stuff works."

"I liked the way he puts you in the car with the police officer. I didn't know what a big advantage the cop usually has."
