QUESTION
Is there a statute of limitations for my 11 year old DUI? Will I still have to complete the DUI classes to get my drivers license after so long?

Yes there is, for filing it is 2 years. However, if the case was filed and you just never decided to appear, or ignored the court subpoena, and a warrant was issued, then the statute of limitations is tolled (stopped) from running because you are "avoiding the system". You cannot avoid the system think the statute of limitations will run. You are still going to have to comply.

Yes. There is a statute of limitations for your DUI. 1 year for misdemeanor, 3 for felony. If the DMV suspended your license 11 years ago, you will need to do the 3 month class to get your license back.

The statute doesn't apply to DMV, so yes you will still need to complete a program.

There is no Statute of limitations for having to do the ordered classes.

If you were charged within the statute of limitations period, it is too late to contest it.
