Hi, I hope someone can help me with this one..I'll try to keep it short...2 years ago I was pulled over for expired registration(had insurance),was issued a notice to appear in court, the car broke down, so I stopped driving all together but....I didn't appear in court. Now 2 years later it was time to renew my license and found $2000 in fines and my license suspended. I'm aware that I have to pay these fines but the DMV has explained that I must go directly to the court to take care of this. My question here is that I have been warned that it is likely that a warrant has been issued and I could go to jail. Someone else told me not to go to court unless I have ALL of the money to pay for the fines. I would gladly make arrangements with the court to pay but I don't want to show up only to go to jail. To me it would seem unlikely for something like this but I don't want to take any chances. Can someone please let me know if I have been misinformed? any advice is appreciated.
