Ouch. Here it varries by state on who talks to who. For the most part, any state will tell your home state you didn't pay thus creating a warrant for arrest. But depending on the state nothing more is reported. The tickets I got in Texas never showed up on my Colorado driving record, thus I also saw no insurance increase. All I had to do was pay the one time fine to the appropriate county that I was pulled over in.
