Re: Is there a statute of limitations on the issue of a traffic ticket
The laws regarding leaving an accident usually permit you to handle the situation within 24 hours. If he did this he is not guilty of the offense. Charges can be made long after the incident, so the defense that he took care of it within 24 hours is your best bet.
