You got off light man. I forgot to make a court appearance for driving an unregistered vehicle and moved out of the area I was in. 10 years later I get pulled over in a routine stop for a loud muffler and it turns out I’d had a bench warrant for my arrest all that time. Was pulled over on a Friday evening with no one to bail me, so I spent the weekend in county lock-up until they could get me in front of the judge. Ended up paying the traffic ticket, and the impound fee for my car, and the cost of a taxi ride from the lock-up to my home. Around a grand altogether.
