    Unhappy Statute of Limitations for Georgia DUI

    In April 2006, I recieved a DUI, blew high where the penalty should be 1 year loss of Georgia license, however, I live in Florida. My court date was Aug 17th, 2006, which my lawyer went to and pleaded "not guilty" for me. It is almost a year since that court date, with no contact from the state of Georgia. My lawyer has said to just wait in hopes that the longer it is postponed, the loss of license time will be retroactive to Aug 17, 2006. My view is anything after Aug 17, 2007 is working against me then. I have heard that there is a statute of limitations on the timeframe a state has to bring charges on a dui, (no injuries or accident). I just want to know what I'm talking about if I ask my lawyer to push for a date, or should I wait longer for the statutes of limitations if there are any to run out? Thanks.

    The statute of limitations stopped running when you were charged. You can talk to your lawyer about the cause for the delay and if your "speedy trial" rights are implicated.
