The St. Louis Morning Brief focuses on major transportation and safety issues across Missouri. Marc Cox and Kim discuss a Missouri House bill that could raise speed limits on rural interstates from 70 to 75 miles per hour while also scaling back mandatory vehicle safety inspections, prompting debate over whether inspections protect drivers or mainly create costly repair headaches. The conversation then shifts to alarming local violence, including a Florissant road rage case where a man allegedly punched a woman through her car door and another St. Louis County incident where a grocery store dispute escalated into a truck striking an 85-year-old bicyclist. Marc and Kim argue tensions on the road are spiraling and urge listeners to calm down behind the wheel. The segment closes with congratulations to retiring St. Louis County Police Chief Kenneth Gregory.
