⚖️ How Many Points Will You Get for a Lake Winnebago Traffic Ticket?

Lake Winnebago has a reputation as a speed trap, especially along MO-291. But what does that mean for your Missouri driver's license?

The answer lies in Missouri's official point system, tracked and enforced by the Department of Revenue (DOR).

Let's break it down.


🧾 What Is the Missouri Point System?

In Missouri, most traffic tickets come with license points. Too many points in a short period can result in:

  • License suspension or revocation -

  • Insurance hikes for 3+ years

  • CDL disqualification

  • Difficulty reinstating a clean record

    • Driving while revoked or suspended can be a serious charge. See Missouri Statute: RSMo 322.321

📊 How Many Points Will You Get?

Here are the most common violations we see in Lake Winnebago Municipal Court, with point values per Form 899 (Revised 02-2024):

Violation Points

Speeding – Municipal

2

Speeding – State Law

3

Speeding in School Zone

4

Driving While Suspended

12

No Insurance

4

Stop Sign / Red Light

1–2

Leaving Scene of Accident

12 (state) / 6 (municipal)

First-Time DWI (Driving While Intoxicated)

8

Careless & Imprudent Driving

2–4

🚨 8 points in 18 months = 30-day suspension
🚨 12 points in 12 months = 1-year revocation

“Infographic showing Missouri traffic ticket point values for violations including speeding, no insurance, DWI, and leaving the scene of an accident”
Missouri’s point system assigns 2 to 12 points for traffic violations—enough to suspend your license after just one serious offense.

📉 What Happens If You Just Pay the Ticket?

Paying your Lake Winnebago ticket may seem simple—but it's legally a guilty plea.

That means:

  • Points are added

  • Insurance rates go up

  • The violation becomes part of your permanent driving record
