EMPHASIS: Driver Examination Stations Closed For State Holidays In February


The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to remind the public that driver examination stations throughout the state will be closed on the following dates:

Friday, February 12, 2016, in observance of Lincoln’s birthday, and Monday, February 15, 2016, in observance of Washington’s birthday. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, February 16, 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!!
