How Long Does a Speeding Ticket Stay on Your Record in Missouri?

Speeding tickets in Missouri don't just sting your wallet — they stick to your record, affecting insurance rates and even future job prospects.


🕒 How Long Do Tickets Stay?

  • 3 years: Standard time a moving violation like speeding stays on your Missouri driving record

  • 5 years: For more serious violations, like excessive speeding or reckless driving

  • Forever: If left unpaid or unresolved, a bench warrant or failure to appear can haunt your record indefinitely


⚠️ Do Speeding Tickets Always Add Points?

Yes — unless you fight them.

  • City-issued ticket: 2 points

  • Highway patrol/state trooper ticket: 3 points

  • Too many points: License suspension and increased insurance premiums


📈 Insurance Impact

Even a single ticket can cause:

  • Rate hikes for 3–5 years

  • Removal from “safe driver” discounts

  • Difficulty switching carriers


🛠️ Can You Remove It?

Yes, with legal help you may:

  • Amend the ticket to a non-moving violation (no points)

  • Dismiss the ticket via defensive driving school (if eligible)

  • Seal or reduce older violations on record
