You can ask for the ticket to be thrown out, but don't count on that happening. Tickets are no always signed. Sometimes a party refuses and sometimes a party has been injured. In these instances, a policeman will often make a note as to why the ticket was not signed and it goes forward anyway. It will by up to the judge to make a decision.
