Gave me a ticket for 5 mph over the speed limit. Costs $93. Do i need to pay if I am not going back there? Heard that some traffic citations don't roll over to other states.
An attorney familiar with the policies and procedures of the court will know the likelihood of negotiating such a resolution given the circumstances of your case. You should clear the matter up and not leave it hanging.
Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.
Good luck to you.
God bless.

Failure to appear in court will result in the issuance of a bench warrant for you as well as your failure to pay the ticket will do the same which will in turn result in the suspension of your driving privileges. Washington is a member of the Interstate Compact Agreement.
If you don't appear the court in that jurisdiction will issue an FTA which will ultimately result in the suspension of your drivers license. Usually it will take 4-6 months from the incident date for the license suspension to take place, however the best course of action is to take care of the ticket immediately to avoid further complications which could result in increased fines and penalties.
