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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
