The VTL infractions should be the least of your concerns. I suggest you contact an attorney ASAP and not say anythi g to anyone without an attorney. Everything you SA will be used against you.

The Statute of Limitations is 5 years from the time you made the alleged false statement. I was actually at DMV in Brooklyn on Friday negotiating this a similar false statement on DMV application case. DMV agreed not to arrest my client if he accepted a one year waiver of his driving privileges and agreed to pay off his outstanding tickets on his "other" license.
