well guys i don't really know what the deal is but if it's the yellow copy you are talkin about, that copy doesn't matter. but if his copy is not signed then yeah he screwed up. but it all depends the court may except it they may not. but if it's one of those must show tickets, you might be risking having a warrant for missin court, if it's not then you could be lookin at a suspension notification for you driver's license for not payin the fines. but hey it's your call
