There is a good chance that if you receive a Northwoods, Missouri, traffic or speeding ticket, it will have been written in the St. Louis ARC Zone. “ARC” stands for Accident Reduction Corridor, a zone of highway that has seen a statistically high number of fatalities and accidents. The state has designated this area as a zone in which St. Louis traffic violations are more severely punished (which means a higher fine than usual), and a strip of highway on which police stops are more frequent. The city of Northwoods happens to be a part of this zone.
Fees for a St. Louis Speeding Ticket $35But this does not mean that there is nothing that can be done if you receive such a ticket. The affordable Northwoods, Missouri, traffic and speeding ticket defense attorneys at The Bankruptcy Company can still get the St. Louis speeding ticket reduced to a lower charge (with the goal of bringing the infraction down to a non-moving violation). We do this by carefully negotiating a settlement with the local prosecutor, so that you do not have to spend any time in court.
Of course, many people choose to take a different route when dealing with a St. Louis traffic ticket. They will simply plead guilty to the ticket by signing the back of it, and mailing in the associated fine. Handling the matter in this way may seem to be the easiest way of dealing with things (and the police officer who pulled you over may very well suggest that you take that route), but there are certain consequences for taking this course of action.
Each time you plead guilty to a ticket, the state will assess points to your permanent driving record. “Points” are strikes that appear on your record to indicate a bad history of driving. This will in turn cause your automobile insurance to go up steadily (and with enough points over a short period of time, you can even lose your driver’s license altogether). This is not the direction you want to take with your ticket!
