No, paying the fine will not get you a waiver of the charges. You can, however, request to be tried in your absence, and should not pay any fines assessed until notified by the Southhampton Co. Traffic

Court that such have been assessed against you.

It's remotely possible that the case could even be dismmissed if the trooper who ticketed you fails to appear on the day scheduled for the hearing or some other bureaucratic glitch causes your case not to be formally adjudicated.

And, yes, I believe both Virginia and Pennsylvania belong to the same Mid-Atlantic Driver's License Compact and routinely share DMV information with each other on drivers in their respective states.
