Question an overseas friend has, relating to an old traffic warrant.

[qnr]

Not looking for legal advice, they're just wondering.

A friend of mine, who has been in Europe for a long time, had traffic-related warrant (apparently something 'relatively' inconsequential, along the lines of running a red light or something ... they didn't really specify) from about 11 or 12 years ago. They're wondering, if they were to come back to the states and apply for a drivers license, whether that would still be active and would be liable to bite them.

They asked me, and I have no idea. I didn't want to actually call the state involved and ask, in case that would set gears in motion or something.

1. I've had parking tickets bubble up from 10 years prior....

but DMVs often have amnesty programs - I would check the website of your local DMV and find out what their guidelines are.......

2. ok, thanks. This is a different state, but I'll look around and see if I

can find anything without giving their name.
