Question

Will i be fined a bit more??

thank you to those who didnt just answer not knowing, i pulled over today and asked a cop he said its not a big deal just pay it theres no warrant but it may be susanded

Answer 1

In most states, the courts just send you a bill with the fine and court costs with a new due date, usually 2 weeks. If you STILL don't pay, you get suspended and you may get a FTA, Failure To Appear warrant issued.

Answer 2

If you do not pay a ticket by the time it is due they will put out a warrant for your arrest. This does not mean that they will go to your house or anything like that, but if you are pulled over again or a cop happens to run your id for anything and notices you have a warrant, you will be arrested and go to jail until a trial (normally you will have a bond and can be released if you pay it). More than likely at the trail you will have your license revoked and spend some time in jail, and probably have to do community service. If you pay it late, you will be okay though, they may charge you extra, but at least you won't go to jail. You can call the courthouse and find out for sure.

Answer 3

A warrant of arrest will be issued for the original charge.

You may also get a failure to appear warrant ( a seperate charge ) if you did not go to court.

There may be a warrant fee and if there is the failure to appear warrant, that will be another couple hunderd dollars.

The best think to do is call city hall, find out how much you owe then pay it. It will take care of the warrants.

Answer 4

No, a warrant for your arrest will be issued. You will be picked up by the cops, jailed, and possibly stand trial if you cannot immediately pay the fine (plus late charges). You may end up with your license suspended or revoked.
I suggest that you go immediately to the collections area (usually at the courthouse, though occasionally at the police department) and PAY IT. It is always better to come voluntarily to pay.

Answer 5

If you go ahead and pay it, that's fine. In Mississippi, failure to pay such a fine will result in a Capias Warrant being issued for your arrest, in which case, you can still pay and the warrant will pulled, resulting in a "no charge". If you are arrested, you will have to pay the full amount of the ticket, plus resulting court cost. In any case, it will be best to contact the court of jurisdiction to get it squared away.

Answer 6

In Virginia, I know the court will inform the DMV, and your driver's license will be suspended. I believe there is grace period on paying minor driving violations before any action occurs. So, if you haven't been charged with reckless, you should be able to pay the fine now without any problems. It is better to do it now instead of later. If not having the extra money to spend on a speeding ticket is a problem, the court clerk will work with you on a payment plan as well.

Answer 7

no your fine of the speeding ticket will not go up once a fine is given it remains the same. However a failure to pay will go into effect. That is a totally different fine now. And its an expensive one.Once you fail to pay it can go into a warrent for failure to pay after that point U should inquire about traffic school if you are elidgeable. You can call the court and get an extention too. good luck

Answer 8

Usually they put a warrant out for your arrest. If you get stopped for say speeding, they'll check and you'll be arrested.

Answer 9

The next step is a bench warrant, better get that thing paid. :)

Answer 10

you will be fined more and it will go on your record, if you fail to pay and get pulled over again they will arrest you (actually with the arrest, it depends what state you are in), but you will definitely have to pay more.
