So far this year in Missouri, there have been almost 700 deaths on the highways. Of the fatal injuries on Missouri’s roads in 2012, 65% of them were not wearing safety belts. Possibilities are extremely high that they were also speeding, or the automobiles that struck them were doing this. Many people who are killed are doing nothing wrong, but are hit by a vehicle driven by someone exhausted, drunk, texting or speeding—sometimes, sadly, more than one of those.
