A: It might delay your ability to get your driver's license by 6 months. You can call the Missouri Dept. of Revenue (the Driver's License Bureau) in Jefferson City, MO at (573) 751-4475 and ask them if you want to confirm this. You can also hire a traffic law attorney to get your traffic ticket reduced to a non-moving, no-point infraction so that you don't end up with points on your driving record or an increase in your car insurance. You will have to pay a fine & court costs but you most likely won't have to appear in court.
