Yes you must sign it because you are not signing that you agree to what is written on the citation, just that you received it. and agree to appear the court date.
While it is unclear what the question is asking, refusing to sign a citation could result in arrest, license suspension, or an additional citation.
In some states if you refuse to sign they will arrest you. If other states if you do not sign it makes no difference. Signing the citation is just signifying you got it, and is not an admission of guilt. Sign the citation and then argue the case in traffic court.
Well let's look at this from a logical standpoint. Did you cause the accident by running a stop sign or did the other party cause it because they were speeding? If you had not run the stop sign would the accident have happened in the first place? The answer is obvious. You caused the accident by running the stop sign. If you had stopped as you should have, there would never have been an accident. Now the judge may access some blame to the other driver if it can be proven they were speeding, but the real cause of the accident was you not stopping.
The motorist is clearly at fault; automobiles must ALWAYS yield to pedestrians, in any case. The previous response assumed you were on foot. I'll assume were in a vehicle. When you looked both ways, you should have estimated the speed of any approaching vehicle and remained at the stop sign until there was an opening large enough to cross safely. It's going to be a lot harder for you to prove he was speeding than it will be for him to prove you did not yield right of way at a stop sign.
yes
It is not necessary that you sign, the ticket is still valid
No
The defendant cannot change the citation notice before or after they sign it. The issuing authority (usually officer) completes the citation notice.
Well a traffic citation for failure to stop at a stop sign or yield is $214, this is the only traffic fine citation that I could find for California. You should always obey traffic sign and drive carefully.
== == You will have to attend on the "court date" and try to have it with-drawn, by the prosecutor, on the basis that the citation is "defective" it it's information. He/she may drop it, or may have the officer re-write another charge on the spot. It will be decided on YOUR past driving record, and YOUR attitude towards the officer at the time you were stopped.
a reason to get a speeding ticket is because you were driving faster than what the miles per hour sign says your suppose to go.
Yes you signing the ticket is just an acknowledgment that you received a citation by the officer on duty. Keep in mind you can always contest any part of the citation in court and amendments to the document may or may not help your case. Good Luck. J.R
