EMPHASIS: MCSAP SAFETE Project To Be Conducted In Troop G


Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, announces Troop G will participate in the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program's SAFETE. This enforcement program is designed to target violations that lead to commercial motor vehicle crashes, such as excessive speed, following too close, unsafe lane changes, careless driving, impaired driving, and distracted driving (texting and handheld cell phone use). This operation will be the second conducted in Howell County during the month of January.

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!!
