A: Not signing for the ticket does you no good at all. It's still a ticket that you have to address whether you have signed it or not.

A: When police used to ask a driver to sign a traffic ticket; that was to indicate that they received a copy, but was not an admission of guilt. Modern traffic citation forms no longer suggest a receipt signature.
