Speeding citations are among the most common written by officers here in Missouri. Chances are, if you drive regularly, you’ve found yourself being handed a ticket for speeding with an unpleasant fine on it.
Consequences of Speeding Tickets
Receiving a ticket for speeding from an officer does not mean you are guilty, but paying that ticket is an admission of guilt. Before you do anything with your ticket, speaking with an experienced traffic lawyer will clearly explain what you can expect to happen if you decide to pay it or fight it. We are experts at bringing speeding tickets down to non-moving violations that have zero-point implications, hence keeping your driving record clean and your insurance rates reasonable.
If you have received a ticket for driving without insurance, referred to legally as operating a motor vehicle without maintaining financial responsibility, you will want to bring your case to an attorney. “No insurance tickets” come with expensive fines and points on your license, which can lead to a license suspension or license revocation.
Chances are, you did not receive your driving without insurance ticket as your only charge. These violations are typically tacked on with another charge – such as speeding, failure to signal, DWI, etc. – because an officer cannot simply pull you over to check your insurance. In these cases, determining your best legal option with an experienced attorney is crucial. Don’t let something as simple as a lack of insurance ticket take away your driving freedom. Pick up the phone and call, so we can begin exploring all your legal options.
