t951,
In California the drawback of "equal access" (the law that allows cyclists to ride on certain stretches of freeways, for example I-5 along Camp Pendleton, Cal 99 through the Central Valley, and many other stretches of highways and freeways ), is that ALL motor vehicle laws are applicable to bicycles; speeding, failure to stop, failure to yield, covering both ears with headphones, etc etc etc. I got a ticket about 20 years ago for wearing a walkman while riding...Yup, it reflected on my driving record as a moving violation with the concurrent 1 point loss.
So, in answer to your question, if you don't appear, don't pay the fine etc, they will suspend your driver's license, increase the fine amount by a minimum of $300 and can issue a warrant for your arrest.
