If you fail to pay a traffic ticket/citation or to appear in court on the hearing date (or have your attorney appear on your behalf) the court may issue a warrant for your arrest—and may add the additional charge of failure to appear, which will include additional fines and other potential consequences.
In New Hampshire, if you fail to pay a traffic ticket or do not appear in court on the scheduled hearing date, the court may issue a bench warrant for your arrest. This can also result in an additional charge of 'failure to appear,' which carries its own set of fines and penalties. The failure to address a traffic citation can lead to further legal complications, including but not limited to, the suspension of your driving privileges. It is important to either pay the fine, contest the ticket in court, or have an attorney appear on your behalf to avoid these additional legal consequences.
