Only $35 For Most Columbia Missouri Speeding Tickets

When you are facing a Columbia Missouri speeding ticket, chances are you won’t think of it as being too big of a deal. “What’s the fuss?”, you might think to yourself, “All I have to do is pay the fine, and I’m done!” It is true that simply paying the fine listed on the back of the citation will put an end to the ticket itself. But unfortunately, this decision will unleash a torrent of activity by the state of Missouri that will cause quite a few headaches in the years to come. How so? Please do read on.

To begin with, it is important to point out that the vast majority of all Americans across the country (including residents of Columbia Missouri) do nothing more than pay the associated fines on their traffic tickets. But paying your fine is the same thing as pleading guilty to the charge of speeding. This in turn will allow the state to assess a certain number of points to your permanent driving record. These points will result in a tremendous increase to your monthly car insurance premiums. How big of an increase? As much as 35% (or more) above your current rates. And if you do the math, that will end up costing you several thousands of dollars in increased cost over the next several years. That would blow up anybody’s household budget!

And there’s one more funny thing about points: if you get too many of them, the state will even suspend your driver’s license altogether. This type of suspension will definitely occur if you receive these points within a short period of time (like in the span of twelve months). During this time (most suspensions last a full year), it will be unlawful for you to operate a motor vehicle of any kind. And of course, if you are caught driving on a suspended license, you’ll get hit with misdemeanor charge (which carries potential penalties like jail time and large fines).

So as you can see, what appears to be a simple traffic ticket in Columbia Missouri can very easily turn into a nightmare! And that is precisely why I go to such lengths explaining all the negative consequences that will come your way if you decide to plead guilty to the ticket. So what can we do for you instead? What sort of magic can we conjure up? Our main goal will be to get the ticket reduced from a moving violation down to a non-moving violation. This is because non-moving violations do not come with any points to your driving record. And if there are no points, then you won’t have to worry about higher insurance or a suspended license. So please do get in touch with us right away! We look forward to hearing from you!!
