The vast majority of people handle their Mexico Missouri speeding ticket by paying the fine listed on the back of the citation. But this is a mistake. Why? Because paying the fine is the same thing as pleading guilty to the charge of speeding (or whatever moving violation you were pulled over for). And when you admit guilt on a ticket in the state of Missouri, the state will assess a certain number of points to your permanent driving record. And believe me when I tell you, the main goal should be to avoid points!!
Only $150 for Most Mexico Missouri Arrest WarrantsWhy are points bad? “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver (or at least a driver who does not want to follow the law). This is significant, because it is the existence of points on your driving record that will lead directly to much higher car insurance. How big of an increase are we talking about? Even one or two points will jack up your monthly premiums by as much as 35% (or more, especially if you already have points on your record). This can be quite a tremendous hit to your household budget. Just imagine thousands of extra dollars going out the door over the next several years to your car insurance provider (and you can begin to get a sense of how expensive it can be if you choose to plead guilty to your ticket).

Because if you allow too many points to accumulate on your driving record, the state of Missouri even go so far as to 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 in fact caught driving on a suspended license, then you will be facing a criminal misdemeanor charge (which can come with potential jail time and a large fine).
Fortunately, there is a much better alternative! And all you have to do is give us a call!! We will answer all your questions, describe your full range of options, and get to work on your case immediately. But the last thing you want to do is just sit on the ticket (and do nothing). Because if you end up missing a required court hearing, the judge will issue a warrant for your arrest from the bench. That warrant will remain active until you pay a huge bond to the clerk of the court, somehow get the judge to recall the warrant, or you are arrested at some point. So please do give us a call before that happens!!
So what can we do for you instead? Our main goal will be to get your Missouri speeding ticket reduced from a moving violation down to a non-moving violation (such as “Illegal Parking” or “Defective Equipment”). This is because non-moving violations do not come with any points. And if there are no points to be concerned with, then none of the above-described messiness will occur! It’s just as simple as that!!
