Is There A Problem, Officer? A Cop's Inside Scoop on Avoiding Traffic Tickets

Whoop! Whoop! We all dread the sound of a siren and the sight of flashing blue lights behind our vehicles. Unfortunately, it's almost inevitable you'll be pulled over for speeding or running a red light at some point in your life.

Is There A Problem, Officer? will make that moment less uncomfortable. And what better way to get the lowdown on when and why cops dish out tickets than from an actual cop?

Seattle police officer Steve Pomper tells it exactly how it is:

Don't cry: you definitely won't avoid a ticket that way
Common courtesy will take you a lot further than speeding will
If you deny fault, you can't expect to receive a warning to correct the problem

Pomper has added helpful advice from police officers all over the United States, plus real-life cop-driver anecdotes and illustrative cartoons. Read this book and you'll never again have to roll down your window and guiltily ask, Is There A Problem, Officer?
