The collection agency will harrass you for several months, and subsequently put a warrant for your arrest. Meanwhile, the interest rate on the ticket will continue to rise. It's not something that will go away after x number of years. When you're 35, and decide to drive down, they'll arrest you and hit you with a $15k ticket.
I got a $180 ticket in WA a while back. At first I laughed it off. Then cursed at the collection agents. Then, when the warrant for my arrest showed up, I called up and paid the fine - by which point the fine had tripled.
PS: It's not just for getting pulled over. You won't be able to get past customs. They'll detain you at the border.

That is strange, because I inquired what would happen and they at the time they said that I lost my privaleges to drive in the state of Washington until I paid my debt to them and if i was pulled over they would impound my car and make me spend jail time. In washington they prefered jail time for past due vehicular offences. However, I got a letter from the state of washington stating that that whole driving privalege and jailtime thing was found unconstitutional and my privaleges have been reinstated. I just take this letter with me when i cross the border now.
