What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut
My son received two consecutive tickets in the same stretch of New York highway (obviously it was a stupid thing to do) on 11/15/09 when he was away in college. He has since lived in two other states, and now lives in Colorado. We just received in Connecticut notice from New York State DMV a Driver Responsibility Assessment Statement today, 4/17/2014, nearly 4 1/2 years later that he owes $450?
Needless to say this came as a shock, I have never heard of such a thing, why would they wait over four years, and then try and collect more money? If he pays this now, are they gong to come back in another five years and say they still want more?
What happens if he doesn't pay, is this enforceable in Colorado, needless to say he never wants to go back to New York State again. He paid for his crime once (ok, once each time), why would they try to collect more so many years later?
Thanks,
Paul
