I received a citation in the mail today and was told that a officer id me as a driver of a car. I was never pulled over.

WA state resident received speeding ticket in NE, what could happen to my WA license if I don't pay the NE ticket

Since I am not a licensed NE attorney I cannot advise you of what the consequences are for failing to respond to the ticket. If it can result in a license suspension as it does in Washington, then you must pay it or risk being charged with the crime of Driving while license suspended in Washington. Often, the Court will give you time to pay in smaller payments.
