Boot, tow and arrest warrant.

Answer 5

You can have a warrnt put out for your arrest, or your car impunded or booted.  Best to call the court and make a payment plan.... Far less expensive, and you don't have to worry about cops, impounds, etc.

As a traffic school/driving instructor, I see people making payments all the time....not a big deal to the courts.

Answer 6

Your car will eventually be booted. "Booted" means they will put a large yellow thing on the wheel of your car that will be attached to the road making you unable to move your car. If you don't pay your ticket within 72 Hours of the boot, it will get towed to the impound lot. If you do not bail it out of there within a week, it will go up for auction leaving you without a car.

Answer 7

They will probably issue a warrent for your arrest. Call the court system that the ticket is from and explain your situation, they may give you a break and better info.
