Will all shops refuse to accept a signature after 14 February 2006?

There will always be some exceptions to the rule all shops and other card-accepting businesses will still accept signatures from three groups of people: cardholders who have been issued with chip and signature cards because of an impairment, visitors from overseas where they have not yet rolled out chip and PIN and, until their upgrade, customers in the UK with old-style cards. In addition, there will be some shops and outlets that have not yet upgraded to chip and PIN. All cardholders will continue to sign in these retailers
