This may come as a surprise, but the vast majority of people in Washington Missouri do not hire an attorney to help them with their speeding tickets. Instead, they figure that it can be handled easily enough on their own. But this is where folks get into trouble. Because the people who represent themselves on a ticket almost always do one thing: they plead guilty. And when you plead guilty to a Missouri traffic ticket, the state will put points on your permanent driving record.
Only $150 for Most Washington Missouri Arrest WarrantsSo how does someone plead guilty to a Washington Missouri speeding ticket? It’s really easy! All you have to do is pay the fine listed on the back of the citation. Once you take this step, the state of Missouri will consider it to be an admission of guilt. This will in turn allow them to put points on your driving record. The exact number of points will vary from ticket to ticket. For instance, if you were only going a few miles over the speed limit, you might receive a couple points. But if you were travelling 20-25 miles over, then you can expect a lot more points.

Because your auto insurance provider will use the points as an excuse to jack up your monthly rates. “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver. And bad drivers get into car accidents more frequently. So the existence of points on your driving record will indicate that the car insurance company needs to raise your rates so as to cover the increased risk.
Additionally, points can even lead to a suspension of your driving privileges altogether. For example, if you were to accrue a lot of points (within a short period of time), the state of Missouri will automatically suspend your driving privileges for a full year. During this time, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. I don’t know about you, but that feels like a long time to be catching rides! And if you are caught driving on a suspended license, you will be hit not with a regular traffic ticket, but with a criminal misdemeanor charge (which comes with potential jail time and a large fine). We can help in those situations, too, so give us a call even if this has happened!!
So what can we do for you instead? Our main objective will be to get your Missouri speeding ticket (which the state describes as a “moving violation”) reduced down to a non-moving violation (such as “Defective Equipment”). This is the goal because non-moving violations do not come with any points to your driving record!
