Failure to sign a traffic report does not remove the penalty. The report is prepared and processed with the annotation "refused to sign".
Common Misconception
The idea that "If I do not sign, there will be no penalty" is wrong. The report prepared by the officer within the framework of KTK and KK is valid even without a signature.
Correct Approach
- Read the report carefully
- If there is incorrect information, ask for "annotation"
- Sign (signature is not acceptance of punishment)
- Objection to the criminal judgeship of peace within 15 days
Objection Reasons
- The officer is unauthorized
- The content of the report is incorrect
- The device is faulty (alcohol, speed)
- No violation occurred
- Force majeure
Supreme Court 19. CD
19. CD accepts that the report with the annotation "refraining from signing" is considered the sole statement of the public official, but the opposite can be proven with concrete evidence/witnesses.
Practical Tip
When signing, consider the note "without reservation". This subsequently strengthens the right to object.
