It may sound counterintuitive, but the worst thing you can do on a Warrenton Missouri traffic ticket is to pay the fine (which is usually listed conveniently on the back of the citation itself). Why? Because when you pay the fine, you are admitting guilt (i.e. you are pleading guilty to the charge of speeding). And when you do this, the state of Missouri will be able to put points on your permanent driving record. If there are points on your driving record, your car insurance rates will go through the roof!

But unfortunately, most people do nothing more than plead guilty to their Warrenton Missouri traffic tickets. And they do this because they have no idea that there is even a different option than simply paying the fine. So what can we do for you instead? Our primary objective with regards to traffic tickets in Missouri is to get your moving violation (like a common speeding ticket) reduced down to a non-moving violation. Non-moving violations do not come with any points to your driving record. It’s just that easy!

Instead, they end up taking points to their driving record. “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver who does not wish to follow basic traffic law. The insurance industry uses the existence of points as a way to jack up your rates. This is because from the insurance industry’s point of view, a person is much more likely to be involved in a car accident if he/she does not follow the speed limit. And in order to cover that increased risk of an accident, they must drastically increase your monthly premiums.
How big of an increase are we talking about? Even one or two points will blow up your rates by 35% or more above what you are currently paying. And if you were to add up that extra cost over time, you’ll notice that thousands of dollars will be paid out across the next few years to your automobile insurance provider. That’s good money that could have gone to basic household needs (like rent, food, clothing, or utilities)!!
And that’s not even the worst of it!! Because if you allow too many points to become a part of your driving record, then the state will automatically suspend your driving privileges altogether. This type of suspension will last a full year. During this period of time, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. And if you are caught driving on a suspended license, you’ll face a criminal misdemeanor charge (which can come with potential jail time and a large fine).
