Pleading guilty to moving violations can lead to points on your driver’s license. Too many points will lead to the suspension of your license. Below you can see some common traffic violations and the points associated with each.
Speeding Tickets: Most speeding tickets in Missouri result in 2 points on your driver’s license, unless issued by a state trooper, which will result in 3 points.
Stop Sign Violation: 2 points.
No Driver’s License: First offense: 2 points, second offense: 4 points, third offense 6 points.
