The fines assessed in any given traffic ticket case vary according to the court jurisdiction, driver record, number of prior amended tickets, gravity of the violation, the type of driver license you hold, etc. Typically the fine assessed on a traffic ticket amendment is higher than the fine assessed if you plead guilty, this is the “trade off” for avoiding points and/or a conviction on your driver license which will presumably save you money on your insurance premium and keep your missouri driver license valid.
