There is one other scenario that can happen. The court in NJ can assess
a fee. Now you owe them money instead of just failing to appear. NJ
wants revenue so they turn it over to collection agency. You ignore
them and then it appears on your credit report. To make matters worse,
they are charging interest (and its not a tiny rate). Your landlord
finds out about your bad credit report and doesn't renew your lease.

Kinda reminds me of those ads that DirecTv was running where you wind up
selling your hair to a wig shop

A year ago I switched from DirecTV to Comcast. DirecTV has been hounding me ever since then. Caller ID shows DirecTV, I don't answer my phone. Anyway, probally best to pay that ticket.A guy I knew in 1964 in Vietnam, one time he said, When I left New Jersey I never looked back! He now a Colonel at Army.Mil.

maybe, but then maybe not.
in my extensive experience dealing with police in the states I have to
conclude
that about 10% of cops would write you up for lesser than what you
have committed,
85% would write you up for about what you did plus or minus a bit and
5% of assholes
would just write you up for a ****load of wrongdoing based simply on
the fact
that their favorite doh nut shop was out of their daily sugar and fat
supply

I gotta say, between your advice and your shouting, you really don't
know what the hell you are talking about. The entertainment factor
evaporates quickly.

I don't have the bench warrant as we threw it away but
you are correct in that I allowed the NJ driver license
to expire.

Since it had expired, I simply started the California
driver license process from scratch, telling them I never
had a license before (which, for a 28 year old guy, is
pretty silly - but they never asked a thing about it).

The hardest part of the California D/L test was remembering
the five or six colors of the curbs!

Did NJ take your fingerprints for your license (or other things like
security guard or real estate license)?

Watch "Airplane!"

One of my best friends growing up in LA didn't get his license until
he was in his twenties. It was odd because several in our group were
car guys, as was his dad. But he always had his hot sister and hot
girlfriend (and the rest of us) to drive him around, so that was
pretty "convenient."

Bench Warrants do NOT get served. No one goes out looking for you. But
if the cops find you, you are subject to immediate arrest. WTF is an
"Interstate Bench Warrant"? I've never heard of such an animal.

It seems impractical for California to arrest you on a New Jersey
Bench
Warrant -- after all, what would they do with you? They're not going
to
ship you back to NJ, and NJ is not going to come and get you for a
traffic offence.
