Can I argue a speeding ticket in court due to an incorrect year of violation?
The ONLY thing not signing the ticket COULD do is allow you to claim you were not aware of your court date. Once you appear in court, they KNOW you are aware of the ticket and any court dates they inform you of in court. If they Day and Month (not just the year) are wrong on the ticket, you may have a prayer. Clerical errors completing the ticket are not sufficient to void the charge. Every ticket i have ever seen has a pre-printed ticket number on the form. If the tickets before and after yours were issued on the same day, the correct date of your ticket has been proven to be that date.
Absolutely. ~ I would fight it! I fight every ticket I get and win about 50% of the cases. My brother once fought a ticket based on that the stretch he got the ticket on was not surveyed for that purpose AND won. If most people weren’t such pus*sies about defending themselves (like most of the people answering here!), these petty things would be slowed down and the justice system would take a real hit. Which it needs, as justice has become a foreign word! Legally things can’t be changed or amended on a whim at the last minute! Already the insurance hit is worth fighting every ticket! And BTW, I’ll lie just as much as I have seen cops lie, with utter conviction! You have to fight fire with fire.
