Re: traffic
Generally speaking, there is a 180 day Speedy Trial provision in traffic court. If you were given a citation in July of 2008, then the State would presumably have to conduct an infraction hearing within 6 months.
However, when you get your traffic ticket, it usually instructs YOU that YOU have 30 days to set a hearing or pay the ticket. If you did neither, the Clerk of Court can suspend your driver's license for Failure to Pay a Traffic Ticket. I would look into that.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact my law firm directly.
