Did you recently receive a speeding or traffic ticket in Springfield Missouri? If so, are you now trying to figure out your options? Are you trying to ensure that you do not incur any negative consequences? Do you understand how the Points System works in Missouri? Or how this can deeply impact your ability to drive? These are great questions to be asking yourself. But there is a lot more to know about this particular topic.
Only $150 for Most Springfield Missouri Arrest WarrantsTo begin with, it is important to point out that the vast majority of Americans (all across the country) do not ever get in touch with an attorney in regards to their traffic tickets (this is also true in Springfield Missouri). Why? Because of two reasons: 1) people do not think of traffic tickets as being all that big of a deal; 2) people have no idea that traffic defense attorneys even exist. As a result, most Americans simply plead guilty to their tickets. But that is where the trouble begins.
Only $225 for Most Springfield Missouri Driving While Suspended TicketsSo how do you plead guilty to a Springfield Missouri traffic ticket? Just pay the fine listed on the back of the citation. Yep, that’s all you have to do! Because paying the fine is the same thing as admitting guilt. Once this happens, the state of Missouri will put a certain number of points onto your permanent driving record. These points will greatly increase your car insurance premiums (by as much as 35% above your current rates, even for one or two points). There is some irony involved with this arrangement: people pay their fines because they believe it is the right thing to do; but in reality, that decision will cost you immensely over the next several years (as you’ll easily pay out thousands more to your auto insurance provider, which will in turn blow up your household budget).
And it only gets worse. This is because the accumulation of points on your driving record can lead to a full suspension of your driving privileges. This can and will occur when the points are received over a short period of time (like all of them becoming a part of your record within one year). This sort of suspension will last for a full year, during which time it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle at all. And if you are caught driving on a suspended license, you will be facing a misdemeanor charge.
Now that I’ve scared you half to death, I should probably move on to something more positive!! Like what we can do for you (so that you can avoid the mess described above). We will seek to have the ticket reduced from a moving violation (like a speeding ticket) down to a non-moving violation (like “Illegal Parking”). Non-moving violations do not come with any points (and therefore avoid all of the hassles mentioned earlier). So please do give us a call soon! We look forward to working with you!!
