   Book Review


From Library Journal
Attorney Brown states in his introduction that there are many reasons why municipalities may issue traffic tickets, not all of them related to unsafe or illegal driving. His book targets those who feel they have been unfairly ticketed and those who through "bad luck or indiscretion" have a need to fight a ticket. He covers types of violations, speed detection methods, how to read a ticket, understanding the charges, and how to prepare, research, and argue a case. He provides a rich appendix with summaries of traffic court rules, citations to the motor vehicle laws of each state, and references to related web sites. The text is highlighted with icons that point up cross references, tactical hints, and warnings about potential problems. Brown does not minimize the homework that needs to be done to challenge a traffic ticket successfully, and his chapter on reading the law and performing legal research is nicely done. Recommended for most public libraries.AJoan Pedzich, Harris, Beach & Wilcox, Rochester, NY Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
