Just $35 For Most Speeding Tickets in Cape Girardeau Missouri

If you have received a speeding ticket in or near Cape Girardeau Missouri, there are really only a couple of different ways to go about handling it: 1) you can hire an attorney to get the ticket fixed (so that there will be no future headaches); 2) you can opt to represent yourself (which basically amounts to you paying the fine listed on the back of the citation). Most Americans choose option #2 (and then wish like crazy that they could go back in time and undo the mistake).

Why? Because paying the fine on a Cape Girardeau Missouri speeding ticket in the same thing as pleading guilty to the charge. And when someone pleads guilty to a speeding ticket (or any moving violation, for that matter), the state of Missouri will put points on your permanent driving record. Once these points are assessed, your car insurance provider will very quickly thereafter raise your monthly rates in a dramatic fashion. Why would the auto insurance industry do such a thing to their customers? Two reasons: 1) In case you haven’t realized this by now, insurance companies will take any opportunity to jack up your rates (this is true not only in the automobile world, but in health, business, and personal as well); 2) But the specific reason for the rate increase will be this – if you do not follow the traffic laws, then that means you are statistically more likely to be involved in an automobile accident (and in response, your premiums must be raised so as to cover that additional risk).

How large of a rate increase are we talking about? Even one or two points will easily result in a 35% (or more) bump. And if you calculate that out over time, then we are talking about several thousands of dollars paid out (money that could have gone to basic household needs). And one more thing about the accumulation of points: it can and will lead eventually to a suspension of your driver’s license. This can happen when too many points become a part of your driving record within a short period of time. If this turns out to be the case, then the state will take away your driving privileges for a full year. During this time, it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle. And if you are caught driving on a suspended license, you will be hit with a criminal misdemeanor charge.
