🚫 Avoiding Points After a Speeding Ticket in Lee's Summit, MO
If you've been ticketed in Lee's Summit, paying the fine might seem like the fastest solution—but it often leads to points on your license, higher insurance rates, and future consequences.
This guide explains how to protect your record and resolve your case—without even going to court.
⚠️ What Happens If You Just Pay the Ticket?
In Missouri, paying a speeding ticket = pleading guilty. That means:
-
Points are added to your license
-
Your insurance premiums can go up for years
-
You'll have a moving violation on your record
-
CDL drivers or young drivers could face license risk
➡️ Most Lee's Summit speeding tickets are 2 or 3 points depending on how they're written.
📊 How Many Points Will I Get?
According to the Missouri Department of Revenue (Form 899):
-
Speeding under municipal ordinance (Lee's Summit) – 2 points
-
Speeding under state law – 3 points
-
Speeding in a school or construction zone – up to 4 points
You only need 8 points in 18 months to be suspended.

⚖️ What Is a No-Point Amendment?
We often negotiate a plea deal that amends your charge to a non-moving violation, such as:
-
Defective equipment
-
Lane usage violation
-
Parking or ordinance infraction
These don't carry points and won't trigger insurance rate increases.
In Lee's Summit, we secure no-point outcomes in the majority of traffic cases we handle.

-
Entering an appearance for you
-
