The purpose of a statute of limitations is to avoid being charged with a crime years after it occurred. If NYC has already issued a ticket, so there is no need for a limit. The issuing jurisdiction can collect on the ticket at any point. It used to be common for places to have an amnesty of fines. But with the economy the way it is currently is, they probably won't be offered
In general, not there is not any length of time once a ticket is issued. As laws vary from place to place, you would have to check with the issuing authority in New Jersey, the city, county or state to resolve this citation. Statute of Limitations is to prevent someone being accused of something years after it happened when witnesses are not available and memories are not fresh. A ticket eliminates this issue. Once a ticket has been issued, there is no requirement that there be any sort of time frame associated with resolving it.
There is no statute of limitations to probate a will in New Jersey. However, if a newer will is discovered after the probate of an earlier dated will or after grant of letters of administration in absence of a will, probate of the new will could be denied if distribution of assets has already occurred and it is impossible to recover them.
As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.
The statute of limitations on a 'motor vehicle offense' is 30 days in the state of New Jersey. However, because the ticket was written on the same day, it still counts, and as such there's no time limit on when he can submit the ticket to courts.
