Speeding Tickets in the Greater St. Louis Area
Keep Your License Clean, Take Care of your Speeding Ticket
Nobody likes to get hit with a speeding ticket. Almost everyone has been pulled over at one point or another. Chances are that you have been issued a ticket for Speeding. When you receive the citation, one option is to simply pay the fine and be done with it. Doing so will take care of the ticket, but the problem is that the infraction will remain on your driving record. This can cause a problem on your license renewal, or may cause an immediate problem with keeping your license.(depending on how many tickets you have). And of course the ticket will also affect your automobile insurance by placing ‘points’ against your driving record. As these points accumulate, your insurance premium will raise as result, costing you more and more each month to maintain your required auto coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I just pay my speeding ticket and move on?
Paying the ticket means pleading guilty, which adds points to your license, increases your insurance premiums, and could even threaten your driving privileges if you have prior violations.
2. What are the consequences of a speeding ticket in Missouri?
Speeding tickets in Missouri can result in:
Points on your license
Fines and court fees
Higher insurance premiums
License suspension if points accumulate
3. Can a traffic attorney help get my ticket dismissed or reduced?
Yes. Our attorneys often help clients by reducing charges to non-moving violations, which carry no points, or even getting tickets dismissed, depending on the case circumstances.
4. How many points does a speeding ticket add to my license?
In Missouri, a speeding ticket typically adds 2 to 3 points, but more points may be assessed if the ticket was issued by a state trooper or involved excessive speed.
5. What happens if I already have points on my license?
Additional points from a speeding ticket can lead to license suspension or revocation, especially if you accumulate 8 or more points in 18 months.
