Expiry period for traffic fines?

Question

Is there a statue of limitations on traffic violations. I was caught in a roadblock and apprehended for 4 year old fines that I had never seen. Surely there is a time limit within which it is fair to process the fine and court procedings.

Answer

As it is a criminal case, there is no prescription period on it. As long as the initial notice was posted within 30 days in the case of speeding fines, there is no expiry period of criminal cases.
