How Many Points Is a Speeding Ticket in Missouri?

Missouri tracks traffic violations using a point system, and speeding tickets are one of the most common ways drivers end up with points on their license.


🚨 How Many Points Will You Get?

The number of points depends on who issued the ticket:

  • City or Municipal Police:
    ➤ Usually 2 points

  • State Trooper or Missouri Highway Patrol:
    ➤ Typically 3 points

  • Excessive Speeding or Reckless Driving:
    ➤ Up to 4 points or more if charged under a criminal offense


📉 What Happens If You Accumulate Too Many Points?

  • 8 points in 18 months → 30-day suspension

  • 12 points in 12 months → 1-year license revocation

  • Points stay on your record for 1 to 3 years

  • Insurance rates go up with every new violation


✅ Good News: Most Tickets Can Be Amended

With legal help, many speeding tickets can be:

  • Amended to a non-moving violation

  • Dismissed after driving school

  • Resolved without going to court
