The Missouri Points System
Most moving violations, traffic citations, and motor vehicle-related offenses in Missouri are assigned a given number of points. If you accumulate too many points within a given period of time, your license will be suspended.
Points against your license vary with the seriousness of the offense. The following are some examples of the Missouri points system:
- 1 point: A municipal stop sign violation that does not result in an accident
- 3 points: A state speeding violation
- 8 points: A first-time DWI / DUI
- 12 points: Leaving an accident scene in violation of state law, repeat drunk driving, or felonies involving the use of a motor vehicle
Eight points within any 18-month period will result in a 30-day suspension. Twelve points within any 12-month period will result in a one-year suspension.
Protect Your Driver's License
The best way to protect your driver's license - aside from keeping a perfectly clean driving record - is to fight your citation in municipal court. As a former municipal court judge, defense attorney Greg L. Roberts and our other attorneys know how to spot the weaknesses in the arresting officer's report, and can present your strongest defense against the traffic violation charged. It is sometimes possible to negotiate a guilty plea to an alternative charge that carries fewer or even no points against your license.
