Some people are not aware that you can fight a traffic ticket and in many cases have it amended or “fixed.” There are many reasons to have a traffic ticket fixed including not letting your parent/child/spouse know you were speeding again but the three main reasons people choose to have their tickets fixed are:
1.To avoid points on their license-In the State of Missouri if you accumulate too many points in a set period of time your license may be revoked. Points accumulate much quicker than you would think and you can lose your license in as little as one traffic stop so it is important to keep points off of your license as much as possible.
2.To keep insurance costs down-If your insurance company finds out you have been convicted of or have plead guilty to a traffic violation they will likely raise your monthly or yearly rates. Additional premiums from the insurance company can often be avoided by having the ticket fixed.
3.Keeping a clean driving record-Having a ticket fixed can keep your driving record clean of moving violations which is important if you have a CDL or drive for a living. It is also important because future employers and others can use a negative driving record to imply recklessness or irresponsibility on the part of the driver.
