If you have outstanding warrants and at least one "Fail to Appear" in regards to Court Dates, you're license will be suspended. If you are pulled over anytime after your license is suspended, you'll be charged with counts of "Fail to Appear" and "Aggravated Unlicensed Operation" for as many warrants as you have outstanding. Your vehicle will be impounded and you will be send to your county holding center until you see a Judge. In addition all of your traffic warrants will still be valid and the fines can be increased because of your failure to pay. At the end of the day depending on the originally charges you're looking at paying $4000 - $8000+ in fines and penalties (including bail) and/or spending some time in the holding center.
Yes, they do turn into warrants. They're looked at as traffic violations, and cost $200. My recommendation for this is to go to the court and offer to sit it out. They don't have room in the jail in Dallas for people to sit out traffic violations, and will more than likely just drop the warrant.
Warrants never expire. They exist until canceled by the judge.
Yes if you take care of the bench warrants and get Court dates. Minor traffic offenses like speeding or running a red light fare not serious crimes. These traffic offenses are handled as local ordinance violations (less than a misdemeanor).
The monetary penalties for traffic violations in Washington State can depend on what type of violation it was, and how many times it had been done. No penalty may exceed $250 for each offense unless authorized by their specific chapter or title.Ê
No there is no statute of limitations. Your license is suspended and you cannot get another one anywhere until you take care of this.
You need to call the courts that issued the warrants. If you don't know, check with the DMV. ADDED: On the off-chance they don't have violations that old in their computer system you might want to START with the DMV.
No. That is being a "fugitive from justice". Go get the warrants taken care of.
A minor violation of the law refers to an offense that is considered less serious and typically results in a lower penalty or consequence. These violations may include traffic violations, minor drug offenses, or petty theft. In some cases, minor violations may be resolved with a warning or a fine.

Magistrate courts typically handle minor criminal offenses, traffic violations, landlord-tenant disputes, small claims cases, and issuance of search warrants and arrest warrants. They often serve as the first-level courts in the legal system and help alleviate the caseload of higher courts.
