EMPHASIS: Driver Examination Stations Closed On Martin Luther King Jr. Day


The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to remind the public that driver examination stations throughout the state will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 18, 2016. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, January 19, 2016.

Approximately 63 percent of Missouri fatal crash victims who are required to be restrained are NOT at the time of the traffic crash. The Patrol urges motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Join us in supporting the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!
