“Wearing your seat belt is the single easiest way to protect yourself if you are involved in a traffic crash," said Troop G’s Troop Commander Captain Mark G. Inman. "Please be the safest driver you can possibly be. Always pay attention to the task of driving, and please wear your seat belt at all times.”
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.”
