Scott Michael Dunn: How does the license point system work in Missouri?
Andrew Russek: So in Missouri, the general point system would be 12 points on your license in a year – if you hit that 12 point number, the way it works is you can get your license back once those points start to fall off, but they take a year to fall off. So, most of the time points add up over time. 2, 3, 4 points here or there.
Some very serious traffic cases – like leaving the scene, or other ones – can be 6 to 12 points. And if you reach that 12 point mark, your license is completely suspended. You can’t drive even if you get special insurance or any other type of modification like that. The more tickets you get, the more convictions you get to a straight ticket, the quicker it’s going to be to suspension.
