It may not seem like a big deal initially, but a St James Missouri traffic ticket can cause significant headaches if not handled correctly. Our team specializes in fixing traffic tickets all across the state of Missouri! We do this by working closely with the local prosecutor to get the ticket reduced from a moving violation (such as a common speeding ticket) reduced down to a non-moving violation (like Excessive Vehicle Noise or Illegal Parking). This is the primary goal because non-moving violations do not come with any points to your permanent driving record. And if there is a overarching goal when it comes to traffic tickets, it would be to avoid points on your record!! Why? Please do read below to learn more.
Only $150 for Most St. James Missouri Arrest WarrantsTo begin with, it probably makes sense to give a description of what points are. Missouri (and most other states across the country) use a Points System to catalogue the infractions committed by automobile drivers (like a speeding ticket in St James Missouri). Each time you plead guilty to a moving violation (like Improper Lane Change), the state will assess a certain number of points to your driving record. The exact number of points will be based largely on the severity of the charge. For instance, if you were travelling just a few miles above the posted limit, then you will likely receive a couple points. But if you were going 25-30mph over, then you will get a heck of a lot more!
Only $225 for Most St. James Missouri Driving While Suspended TicketsSo if you only receive points by pleading guilty to the ticket, the question then becomes: How does someone plead guilty to a traffic ticket? As it turns out, pleading guilty is surprisingly easy! All you have to do is pay the fine listed on the back of the citation, and just like that, you will have successfully admitted guilt. But as mentioned above, this is what allows points to become a part of your record.
Even one or two points will result in an increase of your automobile insurance by at least 35% (or more, depending on whether or not you already have points). Why would your insurance provider jack up your monthly premiums like this? Because (according to the industry) points indicate an unwillingness to follow basic traffic law. And people who do not follow the law end up in far more traffic accidents than someone who does. In order to cover this increased risk, your car insurance company will severely raise your monthly rates.
There’s one more thing you should know about points: receiving too many of them (especially if you get them within a short period of time), will result in a suspension of your driving privileges. This type of suspension will last for a full year. During this time, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. So as you might have already guessed, this will end up requiring catching a lot of rides with friends and family!! And if you are caught driving on a suspended license, then the state will hit you with a criminal misdemeanor charge. So please do give us a call as soon as possible!!
