Can I Get a Missouri Traffic Ticket Dismissed?

Posted by Joshua Wilson | Jun 02, 2025 | 0 Comments

📣 Want to Keep Points Off Your Record?

Dismissal is possible — but only if you take the right legal steps.

👉 Check if your ticket qualifies for dismissal

Some Missouri tickets can be dismissed or amended with the right legal steps.

Yes, some Missouri traffic tickets can be dismissed — but not just by showing up and hoping for the best. Here's how dismissal works:

1. Defensive Driving Courses

First-time offenders may qualify to avoid points with court-approved traffic school.

2. Officer or Procedural Errors

If your ticket includes errors — like a wrong vehicle description or date — it may be dismissed outright.

3. Plea Bargain

An experienced attorney can often negotiate with the prosecutor for a non-moving violation or court-supervised alternative.


🚫 What Doesn't Work:

Saying you were late for work or didn't see the sign isn't a legal defense. Missouri courts need valid legal grounds.
