It depends on the state, but most states punish driving without a license or driving on a suspended license with heavy fines, some jail time, and further license suspension. Most states graduate the punishment, so a third offense will receive a much harsher punishment than the second. At some point, the repeat offense becomes a felony in most states.
A failure to appear warrant will be issued and your license will probably be suspended.
Traffic summons is a petition sent to an individual to appear in front of a judge at the local court to respond to traffic violations which may include driving without a license or suspended license, and speeding tickets.
The worst that could happen is that your license would be suspended, you'd be pulled over or involved in an accident and then ordered to appear in court for driving on a suspended license. Depending on the judge, you could end up with high court fines or a revoked license. If you get caught driving on a revoked license, you get to go to jail. Pay the ticket. After failing to appear or respond to the ticket, the Court can and sooner or later will order a bench warrent for your arrest - for failure to respond. That is a criminal matter, punishable by additional fines (on top of the growing one for the ticket itself) and even jail time. Agreeably they normally don't go around busting your door down to enforce the warrent, but any time your being checked for anything, (job checks too), it will appear. So, if your pulled over for speeding, driving without a taillight, suspecious whatever, even just run through as a passenger in a vehicle or such, the warrent will appear and it's straight to jail to wait for a court appearance to answer it. (Understand that considering your warrent is for failure to appear at court, it is very unlikely they would then allow you to walk away with a promise you will now do so). Please consider, the idea of ignoring a ticket is not novel or original. The system is very preapred to respond to it and does so with the added offense that your disrespecting it's authority...your making it personal!
Yes it is mandatory to appear in an NC court for reckless driving. It is recommended you engage an attorney to appear with you.
Moral obligation to do the right thing aside, the history of the ticket will appear on your driving record, regardless of what state license you hold and where you got the ticket. When you don't pay it, it will be reflected on your driving record and eventually your license will be supended. When your license is supended, your insurance will drop you, which is much worse than your rates going up. Someone out there loves you or the person you endager - drive safely.

Answer from Stageismylife123: they get sent to jailAnswer from Keevamonster: It depends on the severity of the accident, the state it happened in, and the age of the person who was driving without a license. Generally, the person would be cited for the offense, have to appear in court, and could be blocked from getting a license for a certain length of time. Anyone driving without a license also opens themselves up to being sued by the other parties involved in the accident. With no insurance to protect them or pay out any damages, they could wind up owing a lot of money.
