There are not too many ways in which you can successfully handle a St James Missouri speeding ticket. But the way most people take care of their tickets is absolutely the wrong way!! This is because most Americans across the country simply pay the fine listed on the back of their citation. But this is the worst decision you can make in regards to a traffic matter, because paying the fine is the same thing as pleading guilty to the charge of speeding.

Isn’t the right thing to admit it, pay the fine, and move forward with life?” This is a perfectly logical thought. But the problem is that an admission of guilt (by way of paying the fine on your St James Missouri speeding ticket) will allow the state of Missouri to put a certain number of points on your permanent driving record. This is how it’s done: you pay the fine; the state regards it as an admission; the Department of Revenue assesses points to your driving record. And this is why I claimed earlier that pleading guilty is not a good thing to do!!

Once those points are assessed, your automobile insurance provider will jack up your rates through the roof (even one or two points will increase it by as much as 35% above your currently monthly premiums). Why would the insurance industry do such a thing? Because from their perspective, the existence of points on your driving record indicates an unwillingness to follow basic traffic law. And since people who do not follow traffic laws get into a disproportionately larger number of traffic accidents, the insurance industry must drastically increase your monthly rates (or at least that is their stated reasoning).
But that’s arguably not even the worst part about the accumulation of points on your driving record. Because if you allow too many points to become a part of your record, then the state of Missouri will suspend your driving privileges altogether. This type of suspension will last for a full year. During this period, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. And if you are caught driving on a suspended license, the state will hit you with a criminal misdemeanor charge (which can come with potential jail time and a large fine).
