Tickets do not have a SOL for them. You have been issued the citation and must either pay the fine or appear in court. They can issue a bench warrant any time they wish, even 10-12 years later.

∙ 16y agoNo, once a ticket has been issued, you have received official notice of the 'crime.' That eliminates the purpose of a statute of limitations. In most cases, if you failed to appear in court, and haven't paid the fine, the court has found you guilty and recorded the judgement.

∙ 16y agoThe statue of limitations on a traffic ticket in Georgia means the amount of money to be paid as a fine for getting a traffic ticket.
I think there is no such thing as a statute of limitations on a traffic violation. You are thinking of the criminal laws, compared with the traffic laws. Strange as it may seem, you will always owe money for a traffic violation that you have not paid. But, for something like a criminal rape, there is a statute of limitations on how long a person has to file a complaint against an accused rapist. Just guessing, but the potentially accused rapist needs a period of time to be free of the threat of legal action against him as an accused rapist. That's part of the Constitutional protections against unreasonable accusations against the individual. I can see it, very clearly. However, I don't really understand the reasoning behind the traffic laws. A person can, theoretically, have a stack of unpaid speeding tickets building up, and when the mood strikes some policeman or state trooper to issue warrants for old unpaid traffic fines, that person may get put into jail an indefinite time afterwards.

∙ 12y agoA 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. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. 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.

∙ 13y agoIn Georgia, if you have gotten a DUI, there is no statute of limitations that applies. Due process has occurred and the penalty assessed. It is a part of the criminal record and does not go away.

What is the statue of limitations for a suspended driver's license in California?
No such thing. Once the license is suspended, it no longer exists. You'll need to appeal to the court or see whatever other actions are necessary to get a license. A good place to start may be the local drivers license testing office. See what they suggest. They can look up your record and tell you what will be necessary to get another license. After (if) you get your license back, make sure you obey all traffic laws and you'll never have the problem again. * A license is suspended for whatever period of time that was imposed by the judge of the court of jurisdiction. A suspended license is not a revoked license and in most states the person will be notifed when the imposed suspension time has expired and given the information of the procedure needed to have their driving privileges reinstated. A revoked license can be permanent or for a lengthy period of time. If it has been revoked for a stated period of time, rather than permanently the offender will be required to take (and of course pass) the written and the road test to acquire a new license. Questions concerning either action should be addressed to the office of the clerk of the court where the license was suspended or revoked.

What if you where placed on probation for driving while license suspended - is there still a statute of limitation for driving without the license?
There is a statute of limitations, but it does not matter. Each state sets their own statute of limitations, but it is normally 2-3 years for misdemeanor criminal and traffic offenses. The statute of limitations in a criminal case starts at the time that the activity is alleged to have taken place (time when you were said to have driven with a suspended license) and dictates the time in which you must be charged (the time in which you are arrested or ticketed). In most cases, you would be ticketed or arrested within minutes or hours of when you are alleged to have broken the law, and the statute of limitations would therefore not be triggered. Further, if you've been given probation, it means that your case has already been disposed of, either through trial or plea, and if you haven't yet raised the statute of limitations problem, it is too late.
