Re: speeding ticket

There is no statute of limitations for the debt and the States have a compact that requires your home State to suspend your driver's license if it would have been suspended had the speeding violation been committed in your home State. You will need to check with your State driver's improvement office to determine what your risk will be for not paying the claim.
