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 FwyNow, 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...
