There are really only a couple ways to handle your Columbia Missouri speeding ticket: 1) you can roll the dice and handle it yourself; or 2) you can hire an experienced traffic defense attorney to get the ticket fixed. The vast majority of Americans choose option #1. This is because most folks aren’t aware of any other options (and more than likely believe a simple traffic ticket to be an insignificant matter). But handling the ticket on your own will come with short- and long-term consequences (and a really costly bill). Please read further for an explanation.
Only $150 for Most Columbia Missouri Arrest WarrantsEver wonder why your car insurance bill goes up? It will go up for one of two reasons. If you get into an automobile accident, there is a good chance your insurance provider will increase your rates. But by far, the biggest reason someone’s monthly car insurance premiums go up is because they received points to their permanent driving record. “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver. And if you are a ‘bad driver,’ then the insurance industry is going to greatly jack up your rates to accommodate that higher risk (by as much as 35% more than your current rates).
Only $225 for Most Columbia Missouri Driving While Suspended TicketsBut there is only one way someone receives points to their driving record. This only happens when you decide to plead guilty to a Columbia Missouri speeding ticket (or any other moving violation in the state of Missouri). And that is exactly what most people do with their tickets (they plead guilty to them). So the obvious question becomes, How does someone plead guilty to a simple traffic ticket? Because it must be really easy if so many people around the country do it! All you have to do is pay the fine listed on the back of the citation, and just like that, you’ve officially plead guilty. And it is this admission of guilt that allows the state of Missouri to assess points to your driving record.
On top of all this is that points can easily lead to a full suspension of your driver’s license. How can this happen? If you plead guilty to several tickets, and allow too many points to accumulate on your record (especially within a short period of time), the state will automatically suspend your driving privileges for a full year. During this period, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. Of course, a lot of people still do drive in such a situation. But you should know that getting caught driving on a suspended license will result in a misdemeanor criminal charge.
