A new Missouri House bill seeks to bring driver’s education back into public high schools.

A bill sponsored by Rep. Rodger Reedy aims to educate students on permit requirements, safe driving skills, distracted driving, traffic stops and driver safety risks. The bill would not require students to operate a vehicle though.

According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, car crashes are the number one cause of death for teens in Missouri. In 2023, 133 people were killed in teen driver-involved traffic crashes.
