Question

I am soooo scared because i dont want to loose my license .I am a good driver, i was just being stupid and made a bad choice to speed. I am soooooo worried about this because im in like every extra curricular thing our school has and i have to be able to drive! I cant find what my possibly penalty will be anywhere. My court date is tommorrow. Im sooo worried. Somebody please tell me what the maximum penalty in mo is or give me a link. There were no other offenses, just C&I. HELP?! THANKS

Answer 1

You might lose your license for at least 30 days to 3 monts but if not youll have to pay for the mail box and the replacement of the stop sign trust me I know I have a friend that lost his license for 30 days for careless and inprudent driving. But you can walk away with just a fine. But that ranges according to what part of the state your in too.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. You can lose your driving privilege if you disobey Missouri traffic laws.

The Point System

The Department of Revenue adds points to your record when it receives notice that you were convicted of a violation of Missouri driving law while your vehicle was in motion.

The number of points you receive depends on the conviction. For example, you may receive 2 points if you are convicted of speeding (3 points for a state violation). But you may receive 12 points and lose your driver license if you are convicted of leaving the scene of an accident.

The following are some examples of some Missouri driving law violations and their point values:

Violation - Point Value


Speeding - 3 points
Careless & Imprudent Driving - 4 points
Knowingly Allowing an Unlicensed Driver to Operate a Vehicle - 4 points
A Felony Involving a Motor Vehicle - 12 points
Obtaining a Driver License by Misrepresentation - 12 points
Operating a Vehicle With a Suspended or Revoked Driver License - 12 points
When You Have Four or More Points

If you accumulate a total of 4 points in 12 months, the Department of Revenue will send you a point accumulation advisory.


After 18 points you get your license taken away/

wHEN i WAS 16 I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET ON THE FREEWAY AT 90MPH, LOST MY LICENSE FOR 90 DAYS. WALKED TO SCHOOL AND WORK. YADDA YADDA BOO HOO. I WAS A GOOD DRIVER, TOO, BUT WHEN YOU KISS OFF AND PISS OFF THE LAW, YOU PAY. YOU ARE NOT A GOOD DRIVER WHEN YOU GO 25MPH OVER THE LIMIT. YOU ARE NOT A GOOD DRIVER WHEN YOU CANNOT AVOID HITTING SOMETHING YOU ARE SOOOO SCARED BOO HOO BE VERY GLAD THAT THE MAILBOX YOU HIT WAS NOT A CHILD. GET A GRIP, GET A GRATITUDE ATTITUDE, AND GET A BIKE

Answer 4

If that was mailbox I would press charges just for you to learn a lesson. You most likely end up with a suspended license and a fine sorry for that though.

Answer 5

If you did not kill anyone, you will only have to pay for damages and do community service maybe 2-5 months and you probably have to go back to driving school. Have your lawyer bargain to have you go back to driving school doing this will lessen the amount of time of community service. Good Luck

Answer 6

well, god, alot of drivers deliberately bump people and they still have their keys to their car. i just don't get out government, the lock up the innopcent and protect the guilty. it's like their saying "go on do something bad, you won't go to jail" yet and person who has been nothing but good suddenly makes a mistake and their jailed for life... that is soo f*****up

Answer 7

if you were intoxicated ur pretty much screwed out of ur license (at least you are in cali) otherwise ur probly just gonna have a big fine to pay up
