Missouri Speeding Ticket Lawyer

Missouri Speeding Ticket Lawyer

Getting a speeding ticket in Missouri can be frustrating. Most of us have driven a little too fast at some point, but when you get caught, the consequences can follow you for years. Missouri law (§304.010 RSMo) sets the maximum speed at 70 mph on rural interstates, 65 mph on rural expressways, and 60 mph on interstates in urban areas. Exceeding those limits by 20 mph or more is treated as a Class B misdemeanor. As a result, you may face steep fines, points on your license, and higher insurance rates. Working with a Missouri speeding ticket lawyer can help you fight the charge, protect your record, and avoid long-term costs.

That’s where Traffic Counsel comes in. Our experienced traffic ticket attorneys in Missouri handle the process for you, keeping points off your license and giving you peace of mind.

What To Do If You Get a Speeding Ticket in Missouri

A speeding ticket doesn’t have to define your driving record. If you ignore it, it can stay with you for years. However, with the right legal strategy, you may reduce charges or even prevent points from hitting your record.

Our speeding ticket lawyers focus on negotiating with prosecutors to amend your ticket — often turning a moving violation into a no-points offense. This protects your record and shields you from unnecessary insurance hikes.

How to Challenge a Speeding Ticket in Missouri

Yes, you can challenge a speeding ticket. If you believe you were not guilty, you can appear in court to protest your ticket. Success depends on several factors, including:

• Your driving history (in particular, fewer past violations may help — you can review your Missouri driving record status before appearing in court).

• Proof of circumstances (for example, if you sped up to avoid a collision).

• Officer attendance (if the officer does not appear in court, your case may improve).

• Equipment errors (faulty radar or incorrect ticket information).

While you can represent yourself, having a speeding ticket lawyer means having someone who knows Missouri traffic law, the local courts, and how to negotiate with prosecutors.
