Springfield Traffic Ticket Attorneys

All traffic tickets should be handled by an attorney. Speeding tickets, even those that seem minor, can have costly repercussions. Unless your tickets are reduced to a non-moving violation or you receive a suspended imposition of sentence, a couple of tickets could result in the loss of your license. Loss of your license, or even points added to your license, could result in significantly increased insurance premiums. These are consequences that an experienced lawyer at Whiteaker & Wilson, PC d/b/a Law Office of Stuart P. Huffman, will work to help you avoid.

Understanding Missouri’s Point System

A traffic violation can add points to your driving record, potentially leading to serious consequences. Our attorneys understand how Missouri’s point system works and its impact on your driving privileges.

When you receive traffic tickets, points accumulate on your driving record. The Missouri Department of Revenue takes action at these specific thresholds:

  • Four points in 12 months triggers a warning letter
  • Eight points in 18 months results in license suspension
  • 12 points in 12 months lead to license revocation
  • 18 points in 24 months lead to license revocation
  • 24 points in 36 months lead to license revocation

Repeated violations lead to progressively longer suspension periods:

  • First suspension: 30 days
  • Second suspension: 60 days
  • Third or subsequent suspensions: 90 days

These suspensions can significantly impact your ability to work and manage daily responsibilities. However, you may have opportunities to reduce your point total through responsible driving:

  • After one year: Total points reduce by one-third
  • After two years: Remaining points reduce by half
  • After three years: Points reduce to zero

After a point-related suspension or revocation ends, the Missouri Department of Revenue will reset your total points to four. Remember that certain violations remain permanently on your Missouri driving record, regardless of point reduction.

An attorney from our law firm can work to reduce your traffic violations to non-moving violations when possible, helping you avoid point accumulation and protect your driving privileges. We understand the complexity of Missouri’s point system and can develop strategies to address your specific situation.
