If it was 5 years ago, the DMV may certainly have it on your license so check your license record with them. Also check with the precinct which issued the ticket as they could have a record of it. The courthouse is also a place to look for a warrant or on a BCI check. Don't delay on this as it could hurt your license and insurance.

The best way for you to ascertain if there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest concerning a speeding ticket that you received five (5) years ago is to go down to the county court house in the county where the ticket against you was issued. From there, go to the criminal division of the court house and type in your name on the computer system to see if it pops up. If your name shows, you will be able to see what it is for.
