There is indeed a statute of limitations. A prosecution for a traffic infraction must be commenced within one year after the commission thereof. (CPL 30.10 [2] [d].) But the statute of limitations does not apply to the facts you mentioned, which are quoted below, because the prosecution in your case began upon the issuance of the traffic summonses you received, which obviously occurred within one year after the commission of the traffic infractions. Your best course of action is to pay the required fees to the DMV, so that you can get your license reinstated.

<< What is the statute of Limitations for Traffice Violations in New York?

I had some violations in Poughkeepsie New York in 2002 and they still will not give me my license without paying $170. Is there no Statute of limitations?

Three years ago I was being harassed to pay a parking ticket I got xmas eve 2001. I had objected to the ticket as it was a holiday and never heard back. I called to settle the issue and was told the ticket had been reduced with no penalties but since they couldn't find me (i moved) the ticket was now double. I surprised the agent by asking what happens if i don't' pay and how long can you harass me. I think he slipped and said 7 or 8 years and then it's wiped clean.

Your driving record is permanent. Traffic tickets never just come off.

Fortunately though. Most insurance companies only check your driving record for the last 3 to 5 years. So if a ticket is older than that they will not count it against you when determining your rates.

One of the interesting issues with hard drives getting so cheap is that any contact with police now stays on your record forever. They are now truly permanent records, like we talked about in grade school!

The points issue is what you really care about. All points are returned after three years and insurance normally does not go back more them 5 years.

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. As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.

Parking tickets are not a part of your driving record. Getting your license suspended for ignoring oparking tickets would show on your license history (actually, on the car owner's).

Parking ticket for out of state should you pay?

Legally? It depends on the laws. For instance, purely for reference purposes, in the city where I live, you can have several unpaid parking tickets before anything happens. That is not the case everywhere. Morally? Many people would say yes. If you did something wrong and got caught, pony up the money.

Can you get new licence plates if your old ones has tickets on it?

When you get a 'ticket' for violating a State Statute, City Ordinance, or Driving Code the violation is not tied to the license plate on the vehicle. The license plate is associated with the "registered owner" of the vehicle.When you get a 'ticket', it is associated with your driver's license, and the 'violation' is put in the driving record that is tied to your driver's license.You (if you are the registered owner of the vehicle) can get new license plates for your vehicle for many different reasons, unfortunately the tickets (violations) you get while driving (in any vehicle) are all associated with your driver license, not the vehicle's license plate.If you are referring to having been given a 'parking ticket', then the officer has 'called in' the license plate number and issued that parking ticket to the registered owner of the vehicle, which is also put on the person's driving record.Changing the license plate will not get you out of paying a parking ticket.
