Peabody, MA asked in Traffic Tickets for Massachusetts

Q: 13 yrs ago I was speeding to an appt. Got pulled over and got a citation, I asked if I had to go to court.

Officer said no, I asked what to do with citation, he said he didn't care. I never heard anything else on this. Would there be a warrent out for me? I am from Mass.

A: If it is a warning then you didnt need to do anything further. If it was a citation and you needed to pay a fine, and did not then you would have been notified of a license suspension. If it was a motor vehicle traffic offense that was also a criminal offense and you didnt show up, then a warrant would have issued and your license suspended. Your best bet would be to go online to the MA RMV and obtain a copy of your driving record. From there it will be easier to ascertain if there are any issues with your license. Good luck
