There is no statute of limitations on an unpaid ticket. Once your window of opportunity to pay or contest the ticket has passed (usually about 30 days), your license will be suspended. That driving record will follow you to any state and you will be unable to obtain a drivers license until the matter is cleared up.
The purpose of a statute of limitations is to avoid being charged with a crime years after it occurred. If Kansas 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
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.
None, valid citations for traffic violations do not have SOL's.
In Kansas, once a ticket has been issued, you have had valid notice of the violation. The statute of limitations no longer applies.
If you have been arrested, there is no statute of limitations. You can't run, you have to deal with it.
Citations are not subject to a statute of limitations. You have already been informed of the charges and given your options.
A statute of limitation would not concern you, because you were already charged with the offense. A statute of limitation is a limit on the amount of time that can pass between the commission of a crime and charging someone with the crime. If you never contested the ticket chances are that a fine was imposed and/or a bench warrant was issued.
No. A statute of limitations would apply to if somebody committed a crime, but did not get caught until after the statute expired. When a person was issued the citation they were caught (or charged - however you want to think about it). When a person goes in to take care of the ticket, he can plead Guilty or No Contest, and then just pay the ticket (or do Defensive Driving in some cases). By entering one of those two pleas, the case is essentially closed. If the person pleads Not Guilty, then the case will go to a trial, where evidence will be presented and a decision reached.

What you are asking about is a statute of limitations. If a creditor files suit after the statute of limitations has ended, you can file a motion to dismissed based on the expired statute of limitations. The length of the statute of limitations depends on the state and the type of claim they'd be filing against you.

Yes, it can even if the applicable statute of limitations on the claim has expired. A court will not refuse to accept a complaint for action just because the statute of limitations has expired. Nothing in any court rule forbids a plaintiff from filing an action that is beyond the statute of limitations. In fact, court rules require that a defendant must make an affirmative statement in the answering pleading that the claim is barred by the statute of limitations or that defense will be waived and the action may proceed even though the statute of limitations has expired. Once the statute of limitations has been raised as an affirmative defense, the plaintiff is required to prove that the SOL should not bar its claim.
