West Virginia's statute of limitations are very basic and simple. They have decided that no statute of limitations shall apply to any felony. In most instances that will include the crime of forgery. Misdemeanors that involve petty larceny or perjury are limited to 3 years. All other misdemeanors are set at 1 year.

What is the statute of limitations on traffic violations in west Virginia?

There really is none. 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.
