Not likely. Signing the ticket is normally just a technicality. If you go to court to try to get out of it on that basis, the officer who issued the ticket will likely appear to attest to the fact that he gave you the ticket and that will be the end of your argument. Both of these traffic offenses are serious enough alone, but in combination could be a very expensive road trip. In Georgia, illegally driving in the HOV lane is a misdemeanor with a $75 fine. The speeding violation will be more expensive at somewhere between $145 and $325.
