Did you sign it? Then yes. Did you get a court date? Then yes. |

Legal, yes. But enforceable, maybe not. If you want to plead innocent and appear in court you can tell the judge that if the police officer who wrote the ticket couldn't get your name, address or zip (post) code correct, then he probably couldn't read the radar detector properly either. |

Technically, no because it fails to identify you as the offender. It can be amended and probably will be,. just as soon as you bring this up. The policeman only has to swear it was you driving the vehicle he pulled over. It's a tiny little technicality and probably won't get you out of the ticket. Contact a local traffic attorney for better advice and a chance to keep the infraction off your record. |

Nope...prolly not because they still likely have your tag #, and so there's a sure way to pin it to ya. |

In the UK if you appeal you snarl up the system send them the ticket back saying the details are incorrect don't give reasons why then they may or may not follow up if they do give the reasons one at a time and keep appealing but remember fast drivers slow brains |

I think not, if there are any errors and you go to court I think they have to let it go. |

i think you just might have a case. fight it! i saw an ex judge that wrote a book on how to get out of speeding tickets and one of the things he mentioned was that wrong addresses and such are thrown out. he said fight it. in the us that is. |

No it isn't as it does not relate to you. The only way you can be done is if you have given false information or that you have recently bought the vehicle and not registered it in your name, which would constitute an offence, on top of the speeding one. |

Well, strictly speaking, it's not for you, is it? |

you may well have got away with it because i think the details have to be accurate about the driver and i wonder if you signed it. if not it won't be valid so i think you're very lucky |

How did the ticket get to you in the first place if everything on it is wrong???
The correct answer (for the UK), is YES. It is still legal and YES, the offending driver still has to pay it and receive points).
Your only way of disputing it is in court, and nearly everyone who has gone down this route ends up with more points and a bigger fine than they would have had in the first place had they just paid the ticket and taken the punishment. Oh, and had court and solicitor fees to pay on top of all of that.
Just pay the ticket mate. |

If their is so many mistakes then how did it reach you? I'm assuming you got it in the post because if you got it at the roadside you should of checked it to make sure that all the details were correct before signing it. The police may be able to bring charges if you signed it at the roadside with all of the mistakes on it which you have listed, they may say that you provided them with false information for which the penalty's are quite severe. I am assuming that you are from the Uk. |

If the registration is correct on the ticket then its legal. I would pay the fine because otherwise it'll go on computer and you can be arrested at a later date and have your car taken until you pay the fine plus additional costs. If it sounds like you and the letter got to you - ITS YOU !!!!!! |

The Ticket is not valid. All information to your name and address have to be correct, how did you get it if everything was incorrect. Send it back and inform them that the ticket is invalid as all information on the ticket is incorrect, making it invalid. The law states that all details pertaining to anyone has to be precise. If this ticket was made out by a (LEO) policeofficer then he could find himself at his commander's mercy. If in doubt ask a cop. |

Yes... you did the crime, pay the fine. Remember, you too can be part of an accident. |

Depends on what the spelling issues are, a e that looks like a o or if they have the entier name wrong ?
It is written off of your drivers licence, so it should not be that wrong
But no most judges will uphold it, but you can try when you appear in court to ask for it to be dismissed.
Remember ticketr bring money into the county or city, so judges look at fine dollars alot |

you may have grunds for an issue of identity. but can you prove that 1) you didnt supply false information to the officer when the ticket was issued orwas the nip sent through the post. if so that information is transfered from dvla computers and must have been supplied in the first place. it could be a mistake, we all make them. pay the fine shi t head |

Is your vehicle index/Reg shown on the ticket ? The enforcement office be it court or police will use registerd keeepers details provided by the dvla for a prosecution. |

Let see, you signed it.
If the address and postal code are incorrect, that implies that you moved and did not change your license when you moved ( a separate violation)
Pay your ticket Sparky..............
Nice try though. |

If you can figure out a way to explain how you mistakenly got a ticket with your license plate number on it, maybe you'll have a case. |

If you want to waste a bit of time, and go to court to argue the toss, then you've got all the ammo you need. However, be aware that you will have to pay court fees on top of the ticket. I'd just pay up. Bite the bullet. Unless you can't afford the points. In that case, delay and delay until your last set of points expires!! |

Youre not going to get out of a ticket that easily. Before you sign a ticket, the officer on scene, asks you to verify that the information on the ticket is correct, so the fact that you signed it, with the information being incorrect, negates your ability to claim the ticket was not intended for you, or that the officer showed neglegance or incompetance at the time the ticket was written. Sadly, the information such as your name, address and zip code, are merely guidelines for the court, though it is your plate number and registration that are most important. If they are correctl identified on your ticket, then it is your responsibility to pay the fine. There will be no credible argument against this in court. Pay the fine, and take better care on the road next time. |
