GOT THIS HOAX EMAIL THIS MORNING:

Heads Up, In February, Michigan will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy

The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime.

There will be 50 state troopers on duty 24/7 patrolling the following highways.

I-75 North and South
I-94 From Ann Arbor to Port Huron
Entire length of I-96 & I-696
I-275 North and South
M-10 Lodge Fwy

Now, 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket, and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are bringing all their part timers on full time.

* Wear your seat belt,

* nothing hanging from the rear view mirror, take those beads off!

* do the speed limit - use cruise control if you have it,

* no cracks in your windshield,

* and use your turn signals!

The State has to make up for the billion dollar deficit! Be aware!

I thought I had seen this one last year, and what do you know, but I had.

Of course, the fact that this email is a hoax doesn't mean that you won't be pulled over for speeding...
