Captain Inman says, “Hazardous moving violation operations are one tool the Missouri State Highway Patrol uses in order to make our roadways a safer place for Missouri’s motorists. Please be careful when behind the wheel and always be a courteous drive.”
The only 100 percent survivable 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.”
