What’s the worst that can happen if you do not get your Nixa Missouri traffic ticket fixed? For starters, you will almost assuredly incur a certain number of points to your permanent driving record. This is because the vast majority of people in the state of Missouri do nothing more than plead guilty to their traffic tickets. Pleading guilty to a common traffic ticket is the easiest thing in the world: all you have to do is pay the fine listed on the back of the citation itself, and just like that, you will have successfully admitted guilt!!

The exact number of points you’ll receive will depend on a number of factors, but the most prevalent will be the severity of the charge. For example, if you get a stop sign violation, you might get a couple of points; but if you have been charged with Carless & Imprudent Driving, then you can reasonably expect quite a few points. But here’s the thing: even one or two points on your driving record will lead directly to much higher car insurance rates (like 35% above your current premiums).

Rather, it will last for at least the next few years (because that’s how long the point will stay on your permanent record). That’s good money that could have gone towards basic needs (like rent, food, clothing, or utilities). Why does the car insurance industry do such a thing? Because from their perspective, points on your driving record indicate an unwillingness to obey basic traffic law; and if you disobey the law, there is a far greater chance that you’ll wind up in a traffic accident; in order to cover this increased risk, your auto insurance company will drastically raise your rates.
And if you get too many points (especially over a short period of time), the state of Missouri will actually suspend your driving privileges altogether. This type of suspension will last a full year. During this period, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle of any kind. But if you are caught driving on a suspended license, you’ll be facing a criminal misdemeanor charge (which can come with potential jail time and a large fine). So please do get in touch with us soon, because if you wait too long, the other negative outcome is an arrest warrant (which can happen if you were to miss a required court hearing).
So what can we do for you instead? Our primary goal will be to get your Missouri traffic ticket reduced from a moving violation down to a non-moving violation (such as “Illegal Parking” or “Defective Equipment”). This is the goal because a non-moving violation does not come with any points to your permanent driving record. And if there are no points to worry about, then you won’t be dealing with any of the above-described craziness!! We look forward to hearing from you!
