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 At all times patrolling the 6 main intersections and highways.
I-75 north and south
I-94 from Ann Arbor to Port Huron
the entire length of I-696
I-275 north and south
M-10 Lodge freeway
I-96 from Detroit west to M-14
Now a 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is suppose to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. they have been issued 30 brand new unmarked crown Victoria cruisers. and they are bringing all there part time troopers on to full time.
 
I don't speed? I try to be a good boy! :) Thanks for the tip! :)
 
I work for a freight company and almost every day my boss is telling me I need to get to place x as fast as possible because it's HOT freight.
 
it is now a law that if you failed to sign the back of your registration you will be fined $125.00.

Just another example of how government isn't there to protect you but instead to control you and your wallet.

This was posted on a Usenet group Michigan Miscellaneous..the Governor wants money - your money any way she can get it.

Sign your registration.
 
I didn't know about signing the regestration law. I wish I knew what they were doing with all of our money.

Civil or otherwise. Not signing it is better in my eyes....one less place that my signature is 'out there' for someone to steal and forge my name and signature. If Secretary of State needs to see my signature it is on the driver's license they issue. And since the van is in Sherry's name they can't very well use my signature to match hers if I am driving down the road and get pulled over. Makes no sense - and apparently has made no sense since 1948 when they started this. Too many laws. There should be one law 'Love One Another' and let them enforce that one. God bless the politicians who think of stuff like that to make laws into.

Signing car registration is pointless

It's time to clear up a misconception that apparently has been floating around in "e-space" lately about signing the back of your car registration.

The Michigan Secretary of State office has received numerous inquiries about a "new" law requiring people to sign the back of their registration forms or face the possibility of a fine of up to $125.

Apparently it all started when someone sent out an e-mail warning against this law, which they said had recently been enacted as a way to shore up the state's ever-growing budget deficit.

Here's the straight skinny: Can you receive a $125 citation for not signing the back of your registration? Yes.

Is it a new law? No.

The law requiring drivers to sign their registrations has been on the books for decades (possibly since 1949.)

The rationale behind it is that in those days, your title and registration were the same document.

It made sense that you would have to sign the document that shows you actually own the vehicle.

Today, your vehicle title is separate from your registration. If you are cited for not having signed the registration, you can logically argue the value of such an ordinance, but in the end, the law is the law.

Do I think it's a stupid law?

You bet; I've written about it on numerous occasions and have always urged drivers to sign the back of their registrations.

In fact, I'm urging you to dig into your wallet/purse right now to double check to see if you signed yours.

Up in Lansing, it looks like the cavalry might be riding to the rescue in the person of Sen. Ron Jelinek, R-Three Oaks, who on Wednesday will introduce a bill to eliminate the need to sign the back of your registration.

"I had heard of some people that got ticketed for not having signed the registration and my question was: What is the purpose of the signature?" Jelinek said.

"If it's just to say 'I gotcha,' then that's not fair. It's the law, but in the world of today's identity theft, if you lose that slip of paper then that's just one more chance for someone to find a copy of your signature. With a little practice they could end up forging your name."

One last note: Failure to sign the registration is a civil infraction and doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of State.

The amount of the penalty for not signing varies according to local courts.
