Yeah you have a block on your license and a bench warrent for your arrest for not showing in court they'll get you any time they run your license number and jail you till they get whats theirs.

If you keep letting it go and ignoring it, the court will assume you don't intend to pay and keep adding fees until a certain time (it differs from state to state) at which they suspend your license. If you're caught driving after that, you can be arrested, your car impounded, and you'll have more fees to take care of all of that.
The only thing you can do is go to the judge, explain your situation, and the clerk can work out a payment schedule with you to take care of it so you don't get any more fees and your license remains valid. The courts aren't completely heartless; they will work with you if you show an effort to resolve the matter.

It differs for each state. But, If you are just late I'd contact the court and make arrangements. See if you can start making payments or something. Otherwise your drivers license will probably be suspended for failure to pay fines and an arrest warrant will probably be issued for you.

It will probably haunt you if you don't take care of it ASAP... If you ever get pulled over in the future then you may get arrested and handcuffed and taken in.. It would be a terrible experience.. I would call them tomorrow and make payment arrangements and work out something so they will accept arrangements and it doesn't get esculated to higher collections. If you do nothing then you will always worry and be scared about it...Get it taken care of now..Call them and tell them you dont have the funds but willing to pay payments or something...Get them off your back .Good luck

Depends on the laws of your state. In Texas, they put out a warrant for your arrest. Have a nice day.

depends on the court, normally at some point they suspend the license, Your mistake is not to go in and start making or arrange payments, most will do it.

Your typing, and language skills were much better on another one of your questions. Who is it you're trying to imitate?. In regards to your question, contact the court, and the DMV. They'll answer your questions.

You will get nailed when you renew your driver's license, or car tags. You can pay now and avoid trouble later, or you can wait and pay dearly later, your option.

That is the great thing about owing people $$$. They charge you if your late because you don't have the $$$
