Absolutely. If the ticket is not made out to your name or the proper vehicle, it is bogus and you can get it annulled.

No. if you were there on that date, that time, and that location, the citation is valid. a citation is a courtesy for you to come to court and be heard before a judge. its in lieu of a physical arrest. in court, the judge will ask what vehicle you were driving and did you violate the traffic law, as cited? for a traffic citation to be invalid, there must be multiple errors. this rarely happens.

If you receive a ticket with incorrect vehicle information, in most cases it will not be grounds for an immediate dismissal. Despite what the previous poster states however, it will almost always get you out of a conviction if used wisely. Take for instance something as small as the officer incorrectly identifying your vehicle as a 4 door vs. 2 door on the citation. Request a court date, and do not reveal the officers mistake until you are cross-examining him/her. During your cross-examination, question the officer about details related to the incident, where they spotted you, how long they followed you, etc. Ask them if they are 100% confident in their recollection of the incident. Ask them if they are confident that they were pacing you at the speed indicated on the citation, and that all the information on their citation is correct. In my experience, police officers are rarely analytical thinkers, and will generally spout off yes, yes, yes, quickly without considering where your questioning might be headed. After they assure you and the court, that all the information on the citation is correct to the best of their knowledge, ask them how they can be sure that they were pacing you at the indicated speed, with all the distractions of driving; when they weren't even able to determine the correct number of doors on your vehicle, during the 15 minutes they were standing right next to it while writing the citation. Judge actually chuckled at this point. Dismissed. I'm sure you get the idea here, one mistake on a citation calls into question the validity of all information on that citation. While I don't enjoy spending time in traffic court, even with a front of the line pass, you should contest all your tickets. There is a good chance that old Fife won't even show up.

what if they put the wrong abbreviation of the state on your ticket NB for nebraska instead of NE)? ANd wrote down 06 for when the tags expire...and it's 08?

Obviously depends on the situation but when you go to court to fight a 100 dollar ticket and loose 299 from a missed day at work you don't win. If your case is dismissed you still may have to pay court costs and victim surcharge whether or not you feel you are the victim. Also the cop and his buddies will remember and find you again.

Suppose the ticket has the wrong automobile brand name and model?

Yep. I got out of a couple parking tickets that way.

what is your address is wrong? for example my aprtment number is #212 and the offices wrote #12?

No.

Thanks for all the answers so far. To be more clear, the ticket states my correct name, address, and DL #. As for the car I was driving, it stated the wrong make, model, year, color, VIN and tag. Th entire vehicle description was wrong from start to finish. I have a 2004 gold Honda accord sedan. The ticket states a the car is a 2001 silver chevy truck with a different tag number. I htink he won;t be able to describe my car at all in court based on that description.

If your argument is convincing yes you can, and the information that you providied looks as if you wouldn't have a problem.

I do not think the judge will do that, buty you can try.

Does anyone know if a mistake on you name such as putting your middle name as first and having your first name turn into your middle initial be a ground to dismiss. For example, My real name is James Hui Wu, however on my ticket the NJ office wrote Hui J. Wu. Would that be consider a name mistake? In all my Identification my name goes from James which is first, then Hui if the middle name is presented and then Wu which is my last name. So on the ticket the Officer made the mistake of using my middle initial and wrote it as my first name and change my initial into my first name and just wrote J.

everything on your ticket has to be correct. if anything is not correct, that stands grounds for dismissal. i beat a few ticket for that reason. once they put my birth day as 12/20/70 and my birthday is 12/30/70. the clerk just asked me for my id and i went up and show and they dismissed. i heard this on a radio talk show one time ,"EVERYTHING HAS TO BE CORRECT !!! " so i went to court and proved to them there was an error. if they don't dismiss it, appeal again.

I had my ticket dropped, due to the officer putting the wrong year down on the citation. Thank god it was the New Year by a few days. Everything has to be correct on a citation, just like a contract. But, a judge really does has the finnal say, and can swing it just the way he wants.

No. the citation is about your traffic violation, not your vehicle description. The officer can straighten this out in court.

speeding ticket has wrong regristration date on it

No. it can be corrected in court. The vehicle is not the problem, the problem is you and your violation of a traffic law.
