The number of points you lose for speeding in Missouri depends on the law enforcement agency that issues the ticket.
In Missouri, speeding violations can result in different point deductions on your driver's license, primarily based on whether the ticket was issued by a Missouri State Trooper or a Sheriff Deputy. These points contribute to your driving record and can lead to license suspension if too many accumulate.
Here’s a breakdown of the points for speeding:
| Ticket Type | Issuing Officer: Missouri State Trooper | Issuing Officer: Sheriff Deputy |
|---|---|---|
| Speeding | 3 points | 2 points |
Understanding this distinction is important, as points from various traffic violations add up. For example, while speeding might result in 2 or 3 points, other offenses like failing to produce insurance can incur 4 points, and severe violations like felony involving a car or leaving the scene of an accident carry significantly higher point penalties.
