This was in North Carolina.
I'm 19, been driving and have had a license for a little over a year. I received a ticket in Asheville, North Carolina (Buncombe County) for speeding. The officer was NC Patrol. The officer asked for my license and registration, told me I was pulled for speeding (I mentioned to him (respectfully) that I was late as an excuse), he questioned me about my drivers license which lists my address as Winston-Salem I told him that I had insurance through my mother and had gotten my license in Winston and that I lived and worke in Asheville, he went back to his vehicle and took about ten minutes (presumably) filling out a speeding ticket. He then returned, gave a paper for a NORTH CAROLINA UNIFORM CITATION. The strange part is he never mentioned a ticket cost if I pleaded guilty or anything. He told me my court date and said that at court I likely could get the DA to reduce the speeding range (from 11-19 to 1-10 I think) so that it wouldn't affect my insurance rates as much. He handed over the citation and then handed me a warning for not having the correct address on my drivers license. It was a C-1 warning which from what the card said (it was a separate white card) that I just needed to go in and get a new drivers license with a local address and hand the card in. I thanked him and he then went back to his vehicle (there was another police car that had pulled up behind him while he was in his car filling out the forms), and I drove off after about a minute (wasn't sure if I was supposed to leave first). This is my first ticket, but I don't understand why he didn't want me to sign? I was reading that you don't have to sign if you plead guilty or recieve a fine, but if you have to appear for a court date then you must sign. Additionally on the signature line is the signature of someone else! The signature is very obviously not mine. I'm wondering if this is grounds for dismissal of the case. And if so how would I go about getting it dismissed? Or if not what other options I might have. My primary objective is to not get points on my insurance as I cannot afford a higher rate. Driving school/fine/etc. is acceptable as long as I can keep points off my insurance and not make my rates higher. I've included JPEG's of the front and back of the citation with personal (and officers) information removed. My name at the top is removed, but it is VERY different than the one on the signature line (I have a huge last name that includes a hyphen). If I've missed something I should have blanked please tell me so I can remove it. Thanks for the help, please ask any questions you have.

You can certainly try but normally the judge will just let all errors be corrected.
But it's worth a try! |
