When you are driving from one place to another, it can be easy sometimes to travel faster than the posted speed limit. Oftentimes, you are not even aware of the fact that you are speeding (you sort of fall into a trace, and you unconsciously apply pressure to the gas pedal with your foot). It happens all the time to people, but sometimes, you get caught. The police will pull drivers over frequently for excessive speeding, and issue a great many St. Louis traffic tickets. A traffic or speeding ticket received in Black Jack, Missouri, is no different.
Fees for a St. Louis Speeding Ticket $35But the real concern to think about is how you are going to handle the St. Louis speeding ticket. Most people will simply sign the back of the rectangular-shaped document, and mail to the court the associated fine. But if you take this route, you are in effect pleading guilty to the charges (i.e. you are admitting to the court that you were speeding excessively). This may not seem like that big of a deal (especially since you were in fact speeding), but pleading guilty to the charges can have another negative impact: “points” will be assessed to your permanent driving record.
Points are like strikes that damage your record, and can even end up causing your automobile insurance to go up. In addition, an excessive accumulation of points can result in a suspension or revocation of your driver’s license. But the affordable Black Jack traffic and speeding ticket attorneys at The Bankruptcy Company think there is a far better way of handling this kind of case. Our team wants to take over your ticket(s) and get the violation dropped down to a lesser charge (like a non-moving violation). In doing so, no points will be assessed, and your insurance rates will remain the same.
