No. The speeding ticket has a date on it. Which means after that date, you are in "failure to appear". A bench warrant can be issued. Bench warrant means if you get pulled over they can arrest you, but they most likely won't come knocking on your door. BUT, regardless, the "FTA" will still be reported to the DMV and your driver license will be suspended. At which point you will be dragged back into court, and now on top of it you owe fines for failure to appear, and late fines, yada yada...
Your best bet, go to court and argue your ticket. You can plea with the judge to reduce your fine and they usually will. Or better yet, if the cop doesn't show up, you automatically win your case.

No, that is not true. Failure to appear will result in a Warrant for your arrest. The warrant is good forever! So anytime in the future, a routine traffic stop, etc., you will be arrested. Computers don't forget.

if you do not pay for your tickets they will issue a warrant for your arrest and then suspend your drivers license indefinetly until you pay for the tickets and then pay to get your license restored.
