What Happens if I Don't Pay the Fine?If you don't pay your fine and/or complete your jail sentence within the time the court gives you, the court can add new fees to the total amount you owe, and suspend your driver's license. You also won't be able to renew your car's registration. The court can charge you with "contempt of court" or "failure to pay a fine." If that happens, you can be charged with a misdemeanor and the court may issue a warrant for your arrest or add an additional fee (called a "civil assessment") of up to $300.
