Ignoring your Missouri speeding ticket could lead to license suspension or arrest.

Ignoring a speeding ticket in Missouri isn't just risky — it's expensive. Many drivers assume a minor ticket will just “go away.” Unfortunately, it won't.

Here's what really happens when you ignore a speeding ticket:

1. Late Fees and Higher Fines

You'll first be hit with penalties for failing to pay. This can quickly double your original fine.

2. Suspension of Your Driver's License

Missouri courts report unpaid tickets to the Department of Revenue. That means your license could be suspended — without warning.

3. A Warrant May Be Issued

If you miss your court date, some courts issue a Failure to Appear warrant. This can lead to arrest, even during a routine traffic stop.

4. It Affects Your Record and Insurance

The violation stays on your driving record, and insurance companies will see it — which could raise your premiums for years.
