Why Should I Fix My Traffic Tickets?

Why Should I Fix My Traffic Tickets in St. Louis?

In Missouri, all tickets that are not parking violations (expired meters, not parked close enough to the curb, etc.) are considered moving violations. If you choose not to get them fixed by a traffic ticket lawyer, they will result in points going on your driving record.

Protect your driving record and privileges with Combs Waterkotte. Contact one of our traffic violations lawyers today at (314) 900-HELP.

Having points on your license, regardless of how minor your violation was, means that your insurance rates will go up. If you've been stopped and given a ticket, contacting an effective St. Louis traffic ticket lawyer is one of the best investments you can make. You may pay a bit more money right now, but you will save even more money in the long run by not having to pay a higher insurance premium.

      How the Driver's License Point System Works in Missouri

      How the Driver’s License Point System Works in Missouri

      Whenever you’re convicted of a traffic violation in St. Louis or anywhere in Missouri, points are added to your driving record. More serious offenses lead to higher points. For example, speeding is 3 points but leaving the scene of an accident is 12 points.

      Your license will be suspended if you get 8 points within 18 months. The first suspension is for 30 days, the second for 60 days and the subsequent suspensions are for 90 days.

      Your license will be revoked for a minimum of one year if you get:

      • 12 or more points in 12 months
      • 18 or more points in 24 months
      • 24 or more points in 36 months

      In most St. Louis and Missouri traffic ticket cases, Combs Waterkotte can represent you without you having to be present in a courtroom for the judgment. Our firm takes care of everything after you present us with your traffic ticket. We work with the prosecuting attorney in the municipality you got your ticket in and negotiate an effective plea deal that turns your violation into a non-moving violation. This means you will not have any points on your license when all is said and done. However, in some cases like excessive speeding, you may be required to be in court and face a judge at the time of resolution. Regardless of your situation, we will work diligently to minimize both the monetary penalty to you as well as the impact on your busy schedule.
