Speeding Ticket

[2k3sonataglx]

I got a speeding the other day and was just about to fax it over to Points ... when I noticed that my First name was spelled wrong. I this enough to get the ticket dropped ? Have any of you had similar experiences ? As it stands now the ticket is made out someone (not me) that lives at my address. Specifically the officer put an "S" on the end of my first name, for whatever reason I'm sure I don't know ... Thanks.

As far as I know, that makes the ticket invalid, but check anyway.

Not sure, that might be iffy. I asked about something similar once, they didn't put my address correctly but the CP said no dice.

if they have your licence number correct, they can simply re-issue the ticket...still worth trying though...

Address doesn't really matter, because it's not immediately critical information. A name is more important than an address.

Still don't know, worth a try. I didn't know they wrote down your drivers license number, but I haven't got a ticket from a cop yet, just a photo radar. knock on wood

They don't write down your driver's license number, I think he was referring to license plate ... which isn't on the ticket either ... :dunno:

they write your drivers license # down . it _is_ recorded . they don't care about your name

Yeah the police officer writes it down in his little book or whatever, but it is definately not on the ticket ...

Never mind I just talked to a JP and he says the ticket is still valid, despite the spelling mistake ... Points it is ... Thanks ;)

Funny, I got a parking ticket the other day down in Time Square, New York and it was raining like shit and I couldn't read anything on the ticket, not even the license plate number. I showed the cops and they couldn't make sense out of it as well and said it was invalid. Thank god for rain.
