does a speeding ticket have to be signed
Best Answer: Yes, you do have to sign the ticket. As the officer says, signing the tick is not an admission of guilt but you are admiting to the fact that you were speeding.The reason why its like this is because more often then not you can take these tickets to court and fight it and win.f you don't, you will be arrested. The scene of a ticket is no place to argue the citation, that is why the court exists. The best thing to do is sign the citation and make your argument in court. Refusing to sign the citation might appear like a silent admission of guilt and definately a sign of being uncooperative.
