Hello. My friend got a speeding citation and she doesn't want her parents to know that she got a ticket. She thinks that beacuse there are errors on the citation that the officer wrote (her height is off by 8 inches and the model of her car is wrong) that it might be enough grounds for her pleading the case that she wasn't the person who recived the ticket even though her name was on the notice but since the officer made fairly critical errors...it might work. what you think? If not that..could she get a reduction? this is her first ticket ever...so thats why she is freaking out... what u think...
oh it is was in california..

she is eligible for traffic school so they wont find out neither will the insurance.

BFD it could be an 8 but looks like a zero right?
how is the model wrong? they forgot a number or a few letters or say it is a hummer and it's a bmw?
tell her to pay the ticket
again, tell her to go to the school and pay the ticket.

Assailing technicalities such as errors is not a proper defense in a case as provided for in the Rules of Court. Admission and compromise with the authorities might even be better remedies.

She would tell her parents before they find out another way and the errors you describe on the citation are not enough to void it. If she can drive she needs to grow up and take responsibility for her action.

Most places I know of, minor errors on citations DON'T mean throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Her height being written wrong won't negate the summons, because I'm sure she was identified by her license, so they were certain of whom they had.

Here we go again with failure to assume responsibility for ones action. Not once does it mention that she broke the law, committed the offense, and wants to take responsibility for her action. No, it's all about getting out of it. This is the greatest downfall in society right now. If she committed the offense, she should pay. End of story.

Is her driver's liscense number correct? Did she sign it? If you answered yes, then she should just pay the fine.
