Missouri’s most common traffic violations explained by Higher Level Legal, including speeding, no insurance, and red light tickets.

🚨 Top Violations We Handle

1. Speeding Tickets

Speeding is the most common traffic violation in Missouri. Even minor speed tickets can lead to license points, fines, and insurance rate hikes.

👉 Learn how we defend speeding tickets without court or points.

2. No Proof of Insurance

Missouri requires proof of insurance at all times. Forgetting your card — even if you're insured — can lead to a fine or license suspension.

3. Running a Red Light or Stop Sign

These tickets can carry 2 points or more and trigger an automatic appearance in some courts.

👉 We often reduce these tickets to non-moving violations.

4. Driving While Suspended or Revoked

Driving without a valid license is a serious charge. It may lead to arrest, vehicle impound, or a longer suspension period.

👉 Learn what defenses are available and how to fix your license status.

5. Careless & Imprudent Driving

C&I tickets are often issued after accidents or excessive speeding. They carry more points and may be treated as criminal misdemeanors.

👉 Find out how we reduce C&I tickets and protect your record.

6. Failure to Appear / Bench Warrants

Missed your court date or forgot to pay a ticket? You may now have an active warrant.

👉 We resolve warrants and FTA cases without you getting arrested.
