Troop G Releases Impaired Driving Enforcement Totals
Captain Mark G. Inman, commanding officer of Troop G, releases the following information:
A total of eight citations and 22 warnings were issued in conjunction with an impaired driving enforcement project conducted in Texas County on December 29, 2017. This operation targeted impaired drivers along with other hazardous moving violations. The designated highways for this operation were U.S. Highway 60, U.S. Highway 63, and Missouri Highway 17. Totals from this operation include:
3 -- speed citations
2 -- seat belt citations
1 -- child restraint violation citation
1 – non-moving violation citation
1 -- uninsured motorist citation
“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from our roadways,” said Captain Inman. “Our goal is to positively impact DWI enforcement and reduce alcohol-related vehicle crashes. Please be careful when behind the wheel and never drink and drive.”
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
