How much jail time can a person get for not paying traffic fines?

Ok so my friend is in trouble and is sitting on $1400 in unpaid fines... and a warrant out for his arrest for a probation violation.. his bond amount is $2,500... most other people with a probation violation only have a $150-300 bond... i am worried he is in much more trouble than he thinks... any ideas on how much time he could be spending in jail for this? Is there any way the $1400 can be paid by spending time in jail? If so how long? $2,500 seems to be a lot for a probation violation.
Details:
DUI: fines issued and required classes (not completed and not paid)
inattentive driving: fines issued (not paid)
this is his third probation violation

I would love some feedback on this issue

thanks

What is considered the date of conviction for a traffic violation?

What is considered the date of the conviction for a moving traffic violation?
Is it the day you pay the fine after a guilty plea (this could be up to 90 days after the guilty plea), the day you show up to court and plead guilty or the date the violation occured?

What are my chances of getting my traffic fine reduced?

The bail amount with traffic school is around $284. Do you think I have a chance at getting the judge to reduce the fine? I'm a poor college student...

Thanks.

How do I request traffic school if I payed my traffic ticket online?

I really was confused when i went to the Lasuperiorcourt website and it was my first ticket. So I payed for my ticket in full online and then I realized i didnt request traffic school so now I don't know what to do. How do i request traffic school if my ticket is already paid.

Is there any points on this traffic violation?

I have the charge section on my ticket as 3331B and have already looked at the Pennsylvania Point System Fact Sheet and this was not on there. Does that mean that this violation has no points to it? Should I still plead not guilty and go to court? or Would it just be wise to just plead guilty and pay the ticket off?
I am in PA btw.
I already said it was 3331 B, and it was for improper left turn.

Is any1 else disturbed by the series of VolksWagon commercials that show traffic collisions & say Safehappens?

There are two different one's that I've seen so far. One with a group of 4 people chatting about crying during the movie, and WAM! they get broadsided, and the airbags come out. The other is like with two guys driving talking and they hit a red truck that enters traffic infront of their car. Both commercials end with the text showing at the end above the damaged vehicle, "SAFE HAPPENS"

What if you don’t have the money to pay the traffic fines?

This is a follow up question regarding my friend who has outstanding traffic fines in Iowa and Nebraska. He received a letter yesterday saying if he doesn't pay his fines an arrest warrant will be issued (I don't know if it was from a collection agency or what have you) He doesn't have the money to pay these fines and he actually doesn't have a license either (it was suspended because of failure to pay). The main thing I'm concerned about is that he is supposed to fly to Canada in 2 weeks to visit me....can he get arrested at the airport if there is a warrant out for his unpaid traffic tickets or can he get arrested at the airport here in Toronto when he goes through immigration. Would Canadian authorites know about this warrant?

Process time for posting a check for traffic citation?

I had a traffic citation on 8/11, mailed the check on 8/12. I had 15 days to respond so I figured the earlier the better.

Reasonably, when should I expect the check to be cashed by the traffic court? Do they cash it as soon as they get it? Or do they wait a couple of weeks?

Any advice from your experience, or if you work in law enforcement would be great. Thanks!
