What is the name of your state? Pa-I was just notified today when I went to get a permit for my cdl that my penna driving license priviledges has been suspended to a failure to appear in court.The ticket was on Dec. 5.1988.I was amazed.Is there a statute of limitations and anyone have ideas what to do.I live in North Carolina now and I am trying to avoid driving almost 600 miles.

Is there a SOL for what?


for initiating charges- yes

for waiting for you to pay a fine placed by a court once you are found guilty either by admission or default- no

You shouldn't have to appear in court, just call the court and ask how much the fine is, they'll probably let you mail it in. If you want to contest it, you will probably have to appear. I live in PA, a couple of years ago an old guy was stopped around here for a tail light out. Seems as if he had a warrant for a ticket from the seventies, he was arrested and had to pay it to get out of jail!

There is a statute of limitations for them to file charges, but once they are filed then there is a hearing and a sentence, then they have forever to collect!
