If you're new to Missouri, you should prepare for anything and everything during the winter months. Having been born and raised here, I can warn you that it's best to expect the unexpected.
When I was learning to drive when I was in high school in Missouri, I was made to believe that passing on the right was a no-no. What does the law say though? You might be surprised that it's actually more complicated than you might think.
It's no secret there are automated red light ticket cameras in Hannibal, Missouri and there's been talk of them being installed in St. Louis. Would you drive differently in the big city if there was an eye in the sky watching you?
Do you decorate your steering wheel? Did you know there are certain items that are forbidden and/or a really bad idea? The feds have now issued a warning to Missouri drivers and others who practice this enhancement of their vehicle steering apparatus.
This is a dangerous situation and I'm not making light of it, but I have to wonder what the argument was that led to a Missouri woman allegedly driving miles down the highway with her husband on the hood of her vehicle.
Any time you get in a vehicle, there is potential for tragedy. However, there is one particular day and time of the week in Missouri that is more dangerous than the rest according to fatality statistics.
If you cast a wary eye on red light ticket cameras when you pass them in Illinois, you should know there is a new law involving them that may affect future traffic regulators being placed in an intersection near you.
I've been annoyed by people going five miles an hour there..... sure. And there have been a few times when I've been cruising along 16th Street, going about 30 or so, and I've had annoyed dudes behind me honking.
