If you have received a speeding or traffic ticket in or near Poplar Bluff Missouri, then the best thing to do is give us a call!! We will help fix your ticket, and make sure that it does not cause long-term headaches. The way we do this is very simple and straightforward: we work closely with the local prosecutor to get the ticket (which the state of Missouri describes as a “moving violation”) reduced down to a non-moving violation (such as “Defective Equipment”). Once this is accomplished, then you will not have to worry about negative reporting to your driving record (because non-moving violations do not come with any points). Fortunately, this is how most traffic matters are handled in the state of Missouri.
Only $150 for Most Poplar Bluff Missouri Arrest WarrantsBut that’s assuming that you actually contact an attorney about your Poplar Bluff Missouri traffic ticket! Because to be perfectly honest, most Americans do not seek the aid of a trained lawyer. Instead, they do nothing more than pay the fine listed on the back of the citation. But paying the fine is what triggers the points. Why? Because when you pay the fine, you are admitting guilt. In other words, you are saying to the court, “Yep, I wish to plead guilty to the charge of speeding.” That is all the state needs in order to assess points to your record.
Only $225 for Most Poplar Bluff Missouri Driving While Suspended TicketsWhat are points? “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver who does not follow the law. It is the existence of points on your record that will in turn result in much higher car insurance costs. The reason why is simple: from the auto insurance industry’s point of view, if you don’t follow traffic laws, then you are statistically more likely to end up in a traffic accident. And in order to cover this additional risk that you now pose, they will have to severely jack up your monthly premiums. How big of a bump are we talking about? Even one or two points can cause an increase of 35% or more above your current rates. That’s a lot of extra money to be paying out!!
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, points can actually lead to a suspension of your driving privileges altogether! This can happen if/when you get a lot of points within a short period of time. A typical points suspension will run a full year in length, and during this time, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. And just so you know, if you are caught driving on a suspended license, then the state will hit you with a criminal misdemeanor charge (which can come with potential jail time and a large fine). So if you want to avoid all of this messiness, then please do get in touch with us soon (because you also will want to try and avoid a warrant for your arrest, which can occur if you were to miss a required court hearing).
