What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
In 2002 I was in the Army stationed in Hawaii and one day parked in what I believe is a legal spot ("no parking corner to here" and parked immediately after). I was a very stubborn and stupid kid back then so I parked there 3 days in a row and got 3 tickets and towed. I fought the ticket in court and lost. I blamed the poor education system of Hawaii for their inability to understand the difference between corner to here and here to corner. I didn't pay and was moving back to New Jersey anyway.
I had no trouble getting a NJ license because they are not on the same system as Hawaii I guess. I just moved to Virginia and tried to get a Virginia license but was told Hawaii had suspended my license and I'll have to get it reinstated first.
I called Hawaii's restoration number and they told me I need to send $20to do that. They then told me I should call the court too and see what I owe there. I called the court and they told me there are 2 warrants for my arrest; one for the parking tickets and one for driving while suspended! I don't remember the DWS so I can't say whether or not it's accurate. The court clerk recommended I post the $760 bail and write a letter to the judge explaining that I live on the mainland and won't be coming back and the judge will decide what to do.
My question is: Is paying the $20 restoration fee enough to fix the problem if I'm not planning to go to Hawaii? Or can they suspend my license again? The warrant isn't hindering me here in the continental US as I've passed several background checks and the FAA trust me enough to give me a security clearance.
Thank you in advance for anyone who posts some discussion here. FYI, I just renewed my NJ license a few days ago without trouble.

Yup.
