What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I received a speeding ticket in November 2009. When the court date came I was out of town at a funeral and told to bring the obituary when I returned. I took the obituary and was told they would send me a court date in the mail.
The year 2010 came and left no subpoena. I moved for a job but the previous address is heir property so I still receive the mail and no subpoena. On last Wednesday I was on my way home from church and was stopped for a routine traffic stop. The officer told me he had to arrest me for driving on suspended license. My license was suspended on 10/21/2011 for a citation given in November 2009. I was never notified by Dekalb County nor DDS.
I emailed the court because they do not take phone calls anymore and was told I needed to come to the court. I live 5 hours away, I am under dr care for an accident and my dr is not going to approve that long ride, and now I have no license. Is there a statue of limitation on traffic violations? Is there some other recourse?
