Speeding in North Carolina

Nope
but if you don't pay or show up they'll issue a bench warrant and you'll be screwed next time you get pulled over there

What kind of trouble? I had two speeding tickets in two separate states which I left unpaid for over 15 years. I paid one of them a few years ago with no penalty other than a one-time late fee. The other one is still unpaid.

Wrong. Only states that physically touch Ontario's border share data.. New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin.....
Most states do have reciprocity agreements with Ontario, only a handful doesn't. Whether they actually do share data about traffic violations or not is a separate matter.

yeah i heard about 75 percent or more of the states has reciprocity with ontario. Not completely sure...
R M has a sticky on which states have reciprocity with Ontario but I'm not sure if it is for payment only ie not renewing your licence if there are outstanding fines or if it also includes demerit points.
The payment thing is simple but offences can be confusing.
If you did something in the USA that was illegal there but not here should the conviction transfer. Why should you be punished in Ontario for something that isn't illegal here.

It lists which States share infraction information and which only have reciprocal agreements for payment of fines.

I still have an unpaid ticket from one of the states on that list from 1994, and nothing yet. They don't do a very good job enforcing reciprocity.

It depends on a variety of factors, including the magnitude on the offence. Even if you don't get hit with the bill, when back at home, you can go back down and find yourself under arrest, on a traffic warrant, if you happen to get stopped again.
Yes, but that has nothing to do with reciprocity, which is what we're talking about here.
I've accrued tickets from many states without any issues with my license here. Off the top of my head, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire (two tickets within a one month span), California, Massachusetts, North Carolina. I have never paid any of them and have never had anything show up on my Ontario license. I just try to stay out of those states afterwards and if I do end up in them, I take it easy.
Yes, no, and no.

When I got pulled over in Wisconsin, the cop had a lot of trouble finding me in the system. It took about 20 minutes of running my plate, name, address, license number, DOB. Until finally he ran my VIN, he pulled up my file and was able to issue me a ticket. Traffic stop took all of 30 minutes...
