yes a violation is a crime
I would say that no a violation is not a crime. Crimes are misdemeanors and felonies. A violation tends to be the breaking of a legal code. Not necessarily a crime. Common traffic violations are just that violations while DWI is a crime.

∙ 12y agoDepends on the violation. A speeding violation is not a crime, blowing a stop sign is a violation, but not a crime. A violation can be the breaking of any law. What makes it a crime is its severity and whether or not the state in question makes it a crime. It used to be that driving while revoked in Wisconsin was just a ticketed violation. As of 2001 it became a crime. You have to be a little more specific.

A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. 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.

As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations.
