Answer 3

50 lashes with a wet noodle

Answer 4

They have probably already issued a warrant for your arrest.  To fix it, simply contact them and tell them you now want to pay the ticket (there are liable to be additional fees now for not paying on time)

Answer 5

it just means you have a warrant in that state

Answer 6

It all depends on where you live and what state you got the ticket. If the two states do not have an agreement to share information about traffic violations you don't have much to worry about. If they do or you just want to get the thing settled, call the court for the town where you received the ticket. They will make you pay the fine, court costs and any other fees. They won't come after you. They want your money, not you.

Also if they do have an agreement with your state, eventually you will hear about it, then you will dealing with bigger problems.

Oh and if you decide not to settle the ticket, then be careful driving in THAT state again. They will take you in if your stopped.

Answer 7

Some county will issue a warrant for arrest.

But for the most part they just want your money.  So contact them (DMV or Traffic court) and you will just have to pay some crazy fee and you will be OK.

Good Luck..

Answer 8

Stay out of that state, and I really doubt you'll have any problems right away. I've never heard of anyone extradited to another state for a simple speeding ticket and failure to show. That would cost way too much money and resources.

When you go and try to renew your license or registration, you definitely could have problems. Don't forget about your insurance company finding out about this either.
