No - generally a traffic ticket infraction cannot turn into a warrant for a failure to appear unless it was a ticket for going over 100 mph or for discarding a lit cigarette VC 23111. In those cases a Judge may issue a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear because they are considered more serious charges and face additional punishment besides a fine.
A bench warrant is issued by a judge, commonly for failure to appear in court or not following a court order. In many situations, clearing it involves addressing it directly with the court (often through a court appearance or legal help).
If you fail to appear on your court date what happens to you depends on whether you are being charged with an infraction, misdemeanor or felony. If you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony and you fail to go to court for your court date the Judge will most likely issue a warrant for your arrest. If you fail to appear for an infraction, the Judge will probably refer your ticket to a collection agency.
A warrant can lead to arrest if you come into contact with law enforcement (including during a routine traffic stop). That’s why it’s best to be proactive in clearing up your warrant than risk being handcuffed and taken to jail by the police for an outstanding warrant.
