What happens if i forget to pay a speeding ticket?
If you forget a ticket. There are several unpleasant surprises in store for you. First, by not settling up the ticket or appearing in court, a warrant could be issued for your arrest. Since it’s only a violation, it won’t be a high priority warrant, but it could still cause trouble. Don’t pay up for long enough, usually 30 days, and your license is suspended! Now in addition to the speeding fine,they will tack on some extra fees and surcharges. Plus you will have to pay an unsuspension fee to the DMV to have them unsuspend your license. Get caught driving while suspended, and that’s another ticket! The police officers can also have your vehicle towed, unless there is another driver (with a legal license) who can drive the car home. Paying the ticket should rate a very high priority on your “to do list”! It won’t go away, and will cause problems you simply don’t need in your life. Pay up!
