About Alex Carroll

For 30 year old Alex Carroll, the battle against traffic tickets began more than ten years ago when he took his first job as a courier driver. During his four years of courier driving he accumulated a total of 10 moving violations. Most were radar speeding tickets, although a few others were thrown in for good
measure.

The company he worked for at the time allowed their drivers one ticket... anything over that and they got canned.

So, as is often the case, necessity was the mother of invention. Carroll had two choices: beat his tickets or lose his job. Much to his surprise (and everyone else's), he somehow managed to beat 8 of his 10 tickets.

It is from this experience that Beat The Cops was born.

Since writing Beat The Cops, Carroll has become a vocal opponent of speed traps, insurance surcharges, ridiculous speed limits, unfair tickets and highway robbery everywhere. In fact, if you haven't heard him by now, either you don't have a radio or you rarely listen to it. He has been interviewed by more than 1,000 radio hosts on four continents and sold well over 100,000 copies of his bestselling book.

He was a leading spokesperson for the National Motorists Association during their successful campaign to repeal the 55 MPH speed limit and was also California Chapter Coordinator of the NMA for several years.

He has been single-handedly responsible for getting photo-radar kicked out of several cities across the country and continues to be an outspoken opponent of photo traffic enforcement.

Many others have since copied and imitated Carroll's Beat The Cops, but none have matched the easy to read, comprehensive, straight to the point bestseller.

Perhaps most telling are the enormous quantities of letters Carroll receives from readers thanking him for saving them small fortunes.
