Traffic violation procedures
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
There are several threads on this forum, yet I can’t seem to find anything addressing my specific situation, so I am hoping someone might be kind enough to offer some insight...
-The misdemeanor occurred on March 13, 2007; it involved a blood alcohol level that resulted in three penalty points, and a citation was issued accordingly.
-My driver's license was subsequently suspended for three months starting October 1, 2007, due to that same offense.
Now, here is the dilemma...
The fine amounts to $667 plus court costs, but it was never paid, nor was any plea ever filed...
No one has contacted me about it, and I haven't reached out to anyone either...
Does the statute of limitations begin two years from the date the citation was served, or does it run from the date the license was suspended?
Furthermore, is it even possible to claim the statute of limitations has passed if a formal plea was never submitted?
