Are you traveling for the holidays? The Missouri Highway Patrol reminds you to allow extra time to reach your destination, check the roads and the forecast for your route and prepare yourself for just in case you have problems on the road. Sargent Jake Angle says to keep a few things in your car or truck.
If you have room, a small or foldable shovel can be very helpful.
Sargent Angle doesn’t want you to be talking or texting on your cell phone, but he says they are important to have with you.
If you have someone in the vehicle with you, let them handle the calls and texts so you can stay focused.
If you are on the road through the holiday period and need assistance or need to report a problem, dial *55 and in an emergency, call 911!
