I had my drivers license in North Carolina, but i recently got a big speeding ticket last week in Kansas, and just today i switch my drivers license to a Kansas drivers license, can this be traced to me now or can i get away with this without paying??
Also the ticket is very expensive i almost cant afford to pay it at the moment. Please help!?!?!?

They will find you eventually. You bury your head in the sand you'll likely find your license suspended or renewal blocked.
You may wish to call the jurisdiction and see what they offer. Most at least will let you pay on a credit card.

Yes, they'll track you down. Computers are a wonderful thing.

Um, no, the ticket won't go away.

If they have the wrong address for you, you can't use that as an excuse for not paying, even if you didn't know about the ticket. In fact, if you ignore it, your license could be suspended.

If it works like it does in other places you will have the same driver license record since the original information was probably entered by name and date of birth. Not only will you get your license suspended and then be on the hook for even more money, there may also be additional consequences for not showing up in court.

It never pays to play games like that with the system. You will lose, and lose big.
