CRACKDOWN IN FEBRUARY 2008 ON SPEEDING TICKETS IN MICHIGAN......
 
Share this news flash with family and friends~

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 AND MORE!

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,
* have nothing hanging from the rear view mirror,
* do the speed limit - use cruise control if you have it,
* no cracks in your windshield,
* use your turn signals!

w00t for driving a Jeep that dosnt even go 65 let alone 75mph!

Now, 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket,  

Actually if an officer wanted to, he/she can write you for 1 mph over and not just 5 mph.  That urban legend is BS.  NOW, MSP has been known on occassion to set up wolf packs in various areas.  I think that this is where this urban legend comes from.

Yeah ah.. speeding isn't a problem, cracked windshield, mirrors, tires stick out past fenders.. there's nothing dangling from my mirror, I'm just glad to have an uncracked mirror, wont take any chances with danling crystals or pink dice.

Tires sticking out past fenders?  Whats wrong with that.  I do believe on most standard Pasanger vehicles it's no more that 96 inches from outside of wheel to outside of wheel.  This is not pennsilvania and thanksfully we have no fender flare laws.  Now, if you have a vehicle that is used for commercial purposes, which should have 3" lettering of the business, then you MUST have tire mud flaps behind your rear tires.

I must be good to go then. Thanks Longarm.
