EMPHASIS: Patrol Offering New Safe Driving Program


The Missouri State Highway Patrol is pleased to announce a new traffic safety program for teenage and adult drivers entitled, “How To Save A Life”. This new traffic safety program will replace the current program, “It’s My Life”, and is appropriate for drivers high school age and older. This new generation 16-minute video highlights the four risky behaviors of drivers through photographs, music, and testimonials from victims and family members. Those risky behaviors consist of drinking and driving, failure to use occupant restraints, inattentive driving, and speeding.
Anyone in the Troop B area interested in scheduling this program for their group, club, or school should contact Sergeant Brent J. Bernhardt at 660-385-2132. There is no cost for the program.
