Forty-one million speeding tickets are issued in the United States every year - 112,000 per day, one every single second, generating $6.2 billion in annual revenue. That is not a law enforcement program. That is the Speeding-Industrial Complex.
THE ALL-NEW SPEEDER'S GUIDE TO AVOIDING TICKETS is the modern sequel to James M. Eagan's classic - the book that got a twenty-year New York State Trooper branded a traitor by his own department for telling drivers the truth. This updated edition is written from the other side of the window by Kerry Lutz, a New York Bar attorney with thirty-five years of courtroom experience and fifty years behind the wheel.
A speeding ticket isn't a verdict. It's the opening offer delivered by an armed agent in Raybans - and most drivers accept the first number without making a counteroffer. This book is about negotiating the hell out of it.
Inside: the A.D.M. Method (Admit, De-escalate, Mitigate), the three-step roadside technique that turned four out of six stops into warnings across fourteen years of Florida driving. The real math on a $250 ticket that quietly becomes a $2,500 event after insurance surcharges. How to spot a police vehicle day or night. The psychology of mercy and why officers give warnings. Courtroom strategy built on one principle - adjourn, adjourn, adjourn. When to fight, when to fold, and when to take driving school like a grown-up.
Plus the unforgettable story of Firestarter Nat - a WWII Hump pilot who survived the Himalayas, outran a Georgia state trooper into an orange juice stand, and taught his son that driving isn't about speed. It's about awareness.
Includes The Ten Commandments of the Habitual Speeder and The Speeder's Serenity Prayer.
