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.

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. 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.
