- Probation ViolationSIS stands for Suspended Imposition of Sentence. Although you are pleading guilty to the charge the sentence is not imposed so it never becomes a formal conviction. As a result, the charges become non-existent after you have completed your 6 months of probation. The unsupervised probation simply means, "Don’t get any more tickets". It is a great way to save money and it results in no points being assessed to your license, but there is always the risk that you receive another ticket within that time frame, which could result in a probation violation and ultimately points on your record.
- Hit and RunWhere the negligent driver is uninsured, it is often difficult for a person who is injured in an auto accident to obtain a fair recovery. If the injured person carries what is known as "uninsured motorist coverage" through their own automobile insurance policy, they may be able to receive compensation in the case that the other driver fails to carry insurance or cannot be identified (i.e. a hit and run accident or the phantom driver). Sometimes the at-fault driver is under-insured and carries insurance coverage that is simply too low, often at the minimum level required by state law. Missouri has very low minimal insurance requirements of $25,000.00, which unfortunately means that some drivers on the road carry inadequate coverage. In those cases a person may be able to protect themselves by purchasing additional coverage, called under insured motorist coverage, through their own insurance company. If they are injured through the fault of an underinsured motorist, they may be able to obtain recovery through their own insurance policy. In the case of an uninsured motorist the available coverage is many times greater than had they been covered under Missouri “stacking†laws.
