If a ticket remains unpaid more than 15 days after a scheduled court date, a warrant will be issued and a request for suspension of your driver’s license may be made to the Department of Public Safety.

To tell the truth, nothing good will happen. Better not to violate your obligations and not play these games with the court. Indeed, if you received a subpoena you may be in serious trouble if you fail to appear. Once, our friend got in an unpleasant situation on the street and he ended up in jail. His family wasn’t contacted and notified of what happened. First of all, they started to search for him in hospitals, morgue, and friends. Finally, we realized that we must try contra Costa county inmate locator and we found him. Fortunately, he was released on bail, but this horror we will never forget. But the first thing that the bail agent told us was not to neglect the terms and conditions of the court in any way.
