Speeding and no license in possession are pretty minor offenses (depending on speed and location). Should not affect probation. But if it was a suspended license, could be more serious. Lots of attorneys practice Traffic Ticket law in OR. Call one. Thanks for using Justia ask a lawyer.

You should be reporting this immediately to the police, if you have not already. A lapse in time can have an impact on your case. However, a victim cannot "press charges" - it is up to the district attorney's office on whether to pursue charges.
