whats the statute of limitations on traffic tickets in washington state?

Answer 1

This questions makes no sense. Statutes of limitation apply to crimes that have been committed when the person hasn't been caught, like rape or murder. If you've been given a ticket already, it's too late. It won't just "go away" if you haven't dealt with it.

Or are you wondering how long it would be on your record if you did take care of it? Here's the answer from their website:

A Washington driving record typically includes the following:

* Violations for five years from the most recent offense
* DUIs for 15 years from conviction date
* Deferred prosecutions
* Failure to appear
* Collisions
* Departmental actions, such as suspensions or revocations

Answer 2

Yes, there are statutes of limitations in EVERY state on traffic tickets. I'm going through it myself.

As far as I know, there's no statute of limitations on any state.

Can someone verify that?
