[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1490870, member: 561023"] This may be a valid response for anyone living in the state of WA (though I have serious doubts on this) but most other places in the country the above-quoted statement is simply laughable. I've never seen indications from [I]anwhere[/I] that failure to go to court on a summons for anything (a ticket for a moving violation [B]is[/B] a court summons inandofitself) wouldn't result in a bench warrant being issued. We're not saying a warrant like some major criminal might earn themselves but it is still a warrant nonetheless ~ called a bench warrant as it is issued from the judge's bench when you decide not to go to court and they figure this out when they call your name and receive silence as a response. I speak from personal experience rather than hearsay so your assertions that "u guys are dumb" and "u wont get a warrant for a traffic ticket" are both insulting as well as flatly wrong (excepting possibly Washington state with which I have no experience of their law enforcement agencies at all). I've been issued tickets that for one reason or another I didn't get taken care of in a timely manner....some not at all....and those inactions resulted in both issued warrants [B]and[/B] eventually a suspended driver's license. [B]Satan ~ [/B]Again - the best advice I can offer (and apparently is agreed with by the majority of thread respondants) is to take care of the ticket on time or at the very least go to court and plead not guilty, be given a future court date to come back and argue your case, and then as a result have some extra time to get it sorted.
