What happens if you do not pay a traffic ticket you get from another state?
[Edit]

Answer

Probably nothing,if it were a minor offense, like a parking ticket. You'll get a notice in the mail wanting you to pay up, regardless of the offense. Of course if you get pulled over in that state again and they run (which they usually do) your license info. You could go to jail until you have a hearing and pay the fine,or get bonded out. States have different laws, some states or municipalities are very strict and aggressive in collecting fines, others not so much.

Answer

Check and see if your state has reciprocity with the offending state Most states have reciprosity agreements which allow them to exchange data with one another. Say you got a ticket for 82 miles per hour in a 55 MPH zone in New York and you didn't show for trial or pay the fine. When you go to renew your license in, lets say, New Jersey, you will have to pay a fine or penalty to get your NJ license.

There COULD be a warrant issued for your arrest (any states) in that state (NY).

Answer

Your license will be suspended in that state.
