Same here in NC... Ignore a ticket, they send you notice, then they suspend your license and issue a bench warrant for the failure to appear and if you get caught driving, they take you in... Also, if you get a ticket for more than 15 MPH over the speed limit you can lose your license as well for some period of time. Personally, I would question people I know who is a good lawyer, give him a couple hundred (if even that much) and have the ticket reduced to some bullshit that carries no weight, like improper equipment, pay the court costs and keep your license.
