If you receive a traffic ticket most state and local agencies try to make
it easy to plead guilty to the charge and pay the fine. Many city tickets
can be paid in person or by mail. Many counties (including Cole County)
allow fines for most state traffic violations to be paid through the
Fine Collection Center.
For your convenience, they take MasterCard and Visa 24/7.
There are, however, some things to keep in mind when you pay such tickets:
 |
Most moving violations will result
in the addition of points to your Missouri driving privilege.
|
|
|
In paying off a ticket for a point
violation of a state traffic law, you are pleading guilty to a
misdemeanor crime.
|
|
|
If you have multiple or prior
traffic violations you may pile up enough points to cause the
Department of Revenue to suspend or revoke your license.
|
|
|
These violations will appear on
your driving record and may affect your ability to carry
affordable auto insurance.
|
|
|
If there was an accident involved,
you may also be admitting liability where an injured party has a
damage claim.
A lawyer can review the case against you to determine whether
you may have a defense to the charge. Even if the evidence is
strong enough to make conviction likely, there are other options
that may lower the charge against you or avoid some or all of
the license points assessed. |
