If you don't pay your ticket in California, your driver's license may be suspended and you may not be able to renew your registration. The court can add an additional charge of Failure to Appear and issue a warrant for your arrest. If that happens, you will also have to pay a fee of up to $350, in addition to the original traffic fine. The first related link below explains this; click the question "What if I do not go to court or pay for my ticket?"

Your case can also be referred to a private collection agency. The second related link below is an example from Los Angeles County Superior Court.
