I just went to renew my DL and the girl at the counter asks me if I' ever had a license in Washington state. I said yeah. She said that an unresolved ticket from 22 years ago came up in the computer and that I could possibly get a hold on my license here in California until I take care of it.

Isn't there a statute of limitations on traffic tickets for crying out loud?

I guess it must be that green stuff Goosey mentioned.

I called and asked someone there at the DMV a few more questions and apparently all the states computers will soon be talking to each other due to some new federal statute requiring it. I have no money to speak of so if they want to hold my license I'll ask for community service or I'll make a minimum payment each month.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I agree the statute of limitations you would think had expired. I am normally anti big government, but I think the tying of states computer system could be a good thing if it takes individuals rights into consideration. It is a big can of worms though.
