Question

In Ohio, does a speeding ticket have to be signed to be valid?

Answer 1

No, it just means that you acknowledge what the officer has told you. Regardless if you sign, you are still required to either pay the fine or appear in court.

Answer 2

unfortunately, if you were doing one mile over the speed limit in the state of Ohio, you will be given a speeding ticket...as far as not being signed, it doesn't.  a ticket is an official document for the state. only city or county citations have to be signed by the issing officer because of the various jurisdictions, but a stae citation from a trooper does not because they are issued their citation books under their badge numbers--therefore, the state knows exactly who issued the ticket and that officer has to show up for court, unlike a deputy or police officer.  just pay the ticket so that it does not haunt you.  and as a piece of advise...stay away from OHIO...peace!
