I had a lot of fun getting my $300 ticket in Nevada about 7-8 years ago. I never lie to my husband but I didn't want him to know about it because he would have been exasperated with me. So I decided I would pay it off at the rate of $10 per month.
When I got the letter in the mail telling me that my Washington state driver's license would be suspended in 30 days unless I paid my Nevada fine in full, I decided to come clean with the husband and pay up.
Believe me, they'll get you anyway they can. And you do owe it. So just do the right things and come clean, too.
