mate.
you can still appeal the ticket offence.
write a stat declaration with the ticket offence reference and appeal.
be compassionate with your responses and that you did not intend to cause or break any road rules / stop signs etc.
also indicate in your appeal that the stop sign is blah blah blah (as you mentioned above) and should be rectified to avoid future issues like this.
writing an appeal give you another 28+days before they give you the final outcome/result. - gives you time to save up the cash in the worse case scenario that you have to pay the fine.
The compliance/police officer will review, and may take into consideration factors like:
Your driving history,
Previous traffic offences,
Any court hearing raised in the past or active ones.
Any other non related traffic offences,
Age and living location (this is for statistical purposes).
give it a shot and appeal ... maybe send them a youtube link of you compassionately crying and saying sorry - to give you another chance ... ROFL!
