If you have a court date and do not appear the judge will usually issue a warrant for failure to appear. They usually won't come looking for your but if you get pulled over for a traffic violation the officer will run your driver's license and discover the warrant. The best thing to do is to go to the court and ask to appear at the next available time, then explain to the judge what happened. They appreciate honesty and appearing on your own.

What happens if I get pulled over and have a suspended license?

You will likely be arrested. If the suspension is for a DWI you would be subjected to mandatory jail if convicted. The offense is a violation level matter so the intent is not technically required, but most judge's will require that actual notice of the suspension be provided to you. You should consult with a lawyer.

A bench warrant will be (if it already hasn't been) issued. If you get stopped by a cop for anything you'll go to jail and be held until you answer to the bench warrant. You'd be better of contacting the prosecutor and setting up a new court date.
