Goforth argued that the Director failed to prove he operated a motor vehicle on a public highway, which he contended was a prerequisite for implied consent to chemical testing. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Goforth's possession of a valid Missouri driver's license, combined with circumstantial evidence of his travel, was sufficient to infer that he had operated a vehicle on public highways, thereby establishing implied consent.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","civil-procedure","other","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=150198","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/bryan-goforth-v-director-of-revenue-d82604","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
