James
Eagan, a trooper with the 20 years of expereince with the New York State Police is the author of A Speeders Guide to Avoiding Tickets.
According
to the book description, “Regardless of your record as a driver, everyone speeds sometimes. You are on the open road,
no one around for miles, and so you step on the gas pedal. Then you experience a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach
-- and in your wallet -- when you see a flashing red light in the rearview mirror. Now you can ease on down the road without
paying the high price of traffic tickets, inflated insurance premiums and expensive lawyer's fees. Former New York State Trooper
James M. Eagan tells you how-with invaluable tips and trade secrets that the police don't want you to know.
The
book includes:What makes a cop tick (and how to use it to your advantage); What dates and times are safest to step on the
gas and when you are most likely to get caught; How to avoid talking yourself into tickets;What stories and excuses will often
work; How to spot an unmarked car; and, Clipping the wings off “The Bear in the Air.”
One reader of A Speeders
Guide to Avoiding Tickets said, “Working in the City of Los Angeles as a police officer, I've heard
every cock and bull story so people would avoid a ticket. I mean, It's not like I cite people on a regular basis. I am
not the CHP. The scary thing about the book was Officer Neckvein. Yes, the same people Sgt. James Eagan wrote about, I see
and deal with on a daily basis. I enjoyed this book because it not only helps the speeder in avoiding that God-forbidding
ticket, but assures me that the person will not shoot me, stab me, run me over or act like a jerk. But speaking about experience,
I pulled over a woman for speeding. I was on the surface street as she was going five miles over the speed limit. I wanted
to tell her to slow down. It was at night and I lit up her car. She then turned on the dome lights, raised her right arm,
waved left and right to say she knew that I was behind her, lowered her windows, turned on her right turn indicater and stopped
under a well-lighted area. I know she had to have read the book. I did the usual, asked for her Cal-op, reg and insurance.
She looked into my eyes, smiled and said sure officer. She did everything to the book. I then chk'd her, she came clear
and told her that I wasn't going to cite her but warned her to slow down. She never said sir, I asked what she did and
managed to segue A speeders Guide to Avoiding Ticket was a good book, huh? She said yeah and stuttered. I laughed and said
thank you for taking time and reading the book. Not only did she avoid a ticket, I also left home smiling. Sgt. Eagan's
book is a great book. Maybe, maybe after you read this book, maybe you'll slow down. I mean, I don't speed because
this book made me paranoid about getting a ticket. This book will make you paranoid too. Read it and learn.”
