What are your rights in regard to what? And, no, statutes of limitation apply to crimes and not to traffic infractions.

Even if a statute of limitations did apply, it would be between the time the crime occurred and when you were charged, NOT the time between when you were charged and when you continue to avoid paying the ticket.
