Points on your record And Higher Insurance Premiums
Missouri traffic tickets can effect your record and insurance. Missouri has well-defined traffic laws which guard against driving offenses such as DUI, driving without insurance, reckless or careless driving, failure to yield, and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. Traffic offenses in Missouri vary widely depending on whether it is an infraction or violation and the level of severity. Usually, non-moving violations and non-dangerous violations are considered infractions while more serious violations are considered misdemeanor or felony traffic violations.
Traffic tickets in Missouri can result in consequences including points on a driver’s license, an increase in auto insurance rates and possibly even a criminal conviction on your record.
Criminal liability
In Missouri, traffic offenses that are considered more serious may carry criminal liability. Examples of criminal traffic tickets are DUI, hit and run, dangerous driving, vehicular manslaughter, criminal speeding and many more. A criminal traffic citation is handled more severely than a civil traffic offense. Most criminal traffic offenses are considered misdemeanors, but more serious offenses may be elevated to felonies. A criminal traffic ticket conviction permanently appears on the offender’s record. This may jeopardize a person’s chances when it comes to college admission, getting housing and even getting employed.
Loss of driving privileges
Traffic tickets in Missouri will substantially affect your driving record and even lead to loss of driving privileges. Missouri has a driver’s license point system whereby traffic offenders are assigned point values for traffic offenses. While your first moving violation, non-moving violation or a non-dangerous infraction may not lead to license suspension or revocation ,the more violations you have, the more likely you are to lose your license.
In Missouri, if you accumulate a certain number of points within a given period of time, you may have your license suspended or revoked altogether. If you accumulate 8 points within a span of 18 months, your license will be suspended for 30 days. The second suspension lasts for 60 days while the third suspension lasts for 90 days. Your license will be revoked if you accumulate 12 points in 12 months, 18 points is 24 months, or 24 points in 36 months. Missouri drivers license points stay on the record for three years. License suspension or revocation impairs your eligibility to drive and may prevent you from getting employment in professions related to driving.
Higher insurance premiums
Usually, insurance carriers consider a person’s driving record when determining auto insurance premiums. The more citations a person has on their record, the more risky they are to insure. Therefore, insurance premiums tend to rise when a driver acquires demerit points due to traffic violations. The more points you have on your record, the more expensive your insurance becomes. In most cases, a traffic ticket in Missouri will impact your insurance premiums for three to five years.
Can I have my traffic ticket record erased off my record?
It is often possible to have previous traffic tickets erased from one’s record depending on the severity of the offense and other circumstances. You need an attorney to remove the ticket from your record
