Answer 1

Dude, you broke the law. Suck it up and be a big boy and pay your fines.

Answer 2

Nope. The officer will be in court to testify. The officer and his testimony is the Governemts case, not the ticket. A traffic ticket is more like your receipt and notification to show up in court. The officer can correct anything on the ticket with his testimony.
A parking ticket however is different. Those mistakes on a parking ticket are automatic dismisslas, as the parking ticket is the gov'ts case, since the ticket agent does not go to court.
The law on yellow fog lights is you can't have them (thats why you got a ticket. He didn't make the law up) Look at the section you violated and look it up online. You can only have clear headlights on your car. Anything colored, unless authorized by law (FD,PD,Ambulance etc) is illegal. Are you a tow truck or construction vehicle? Then you don't belong having yellow lights. Just because evryone has them, doesn't make them legal.

Answer 3

Get over it and pay the tickets.

Just because of a slight clerical error does not mean the ticket is invalid.


Why didn't you ask the policeman the law on yellow fog lights?


'Some vehicles have front fog lights, or front and rear fog lights, for use when heavy fog or similar hazardous weather conditions seriously restrict the driver's visibility. In New York State, all fog lights must be properly installed and of a type approved by the Commissioner of DMV. Front fog lights may be amber or white in color. Rear fog lights must be red and may be larger than the vehicle's regular taillights - they are intended to give advanced warning of your vehicle's presence to the drivers behind you. When visibility improves, you should switch off your vehicle's rear fog lights to reduce the glare that might affect other drivers.'

Answer 4

Even if the police wrote the wrong address, you will still be liable for the ticket. Usually once the ticket gets logged in court and they realize they have the wrong address, they will send you a letter informing you of the correction. You will still need to take care of it unless your driver's license number on the ticket is wrong.

Answer 5

I heard that similar nonsense right here in California. I went to court docket and advised the choose the officer wrote incorrect tips about the cost ticket, wondering it would want to be brushed off. The choose stated, "sorry we are going to astounding that". They despatched me a "revised" cost ticket contained in the mail with the right tips. Aint that some bull$hit.

Answer 6

If you're willing to take the risk because of one number on a FIX-IT ticket, go for it. I don't think I would though. It's not worth the risk, but hey, that's just my thinking.

Answer 7

No. Only mistakes that are relevant to the charges are challengeable. Your address has nothing to do with your windows or lights.

Answer 8

Ask your lawyer about it, but keep it in reserve; a lot of the time the cop doesn't even show up, and if that happens the case will be kicked.

Answer 9

No. Fight it if you want, but I guarantee that your address being incorrect will not be sufficient grounds for dismissal or a not guilty verdict.
