how much is it?
what state is it for?
do you EVER plan on driving through that state again? EVER??
are you ok with the idea of having a suspended license in that state? and probably not knowing about it until you get pulled over, and if there isnt someone else in the car that can drive, your shit getting towed, paying impound and towing fees, possibly spending a night in jail waiting for someone to come get you and bail you out, or if you are lucky you get to go to court on the spot for willfully driving without a license (usually a misdemeanor), having to pay about $650 on the spot to get let go (still with a suspended license and unable to drive), having to jump through a few more hoops, paying the parking ticket off, getting your license reinstated, getting proof of payment and reinstatement to the court, then they might be nice enough to lower the charge from a misdemeanor to a simple traffic infraction clearing your record... but you will still be out the $1000 or so so far.....
its really up to you
maybe they will just chalk it up as a loss and you will never hear about it again
maybe they will contact you and you can play stupid ("huh??? i havent been to _____ in almost 5 years... are you sure it was my car/plate???) and they might toss it for you
maybe youll have the above scenario play out for you like it did me???
your call
if it was me... id just pay the stupid ass ticket
