Michigan drivers
Its snowy out but most of us do drive 4 wheelers. I just received this advisory-
Subject: NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM TRUCKER PAPER, IN MICHIGAN
If you drive or have drivers that do, they may want to pay attention to
their speed in Michigan in February. I think 7-75 is fast enough but, we

RE: Michigan drivers
Years back I managed a truck stop on the nearby interstate and throughout the years have seen similar types of things actually happen. So while this might be untrue, it has happened, and more than once in recent years. Sorry if I passed on some sort of rumor, but better to be aware and safe, than sorry and busted....
