I'm a retired Deputy Sheriff, and based on what information you've given, I find it difficult to believe that you were cited for "careless driving" based upon someone just calling in your license plate. If this were so, then anyone who wanted to get back at someone could just call in their license plate, and tickets would be written. Unless you were somehow videotaped or an officer saw you in the act of careless driving, I don't see how you could have been cited.
If you feel that you were wrongly cited, you can contest ANY traffic citation. Find the court date on the reverse side of your citation and go explain things to the judge. If the police officer cannot make this citation stick, chances are the judge is going to throw it out.
Best of luck to you.

once you do incorrect you've finished incorrect!! i ought to imagine the finest way is to easily clarify the excuses for not preventing, It grow to be not a street I commonly used force on or use, It grow to be darkish, i grow to be getting slightly drained, major is you already know you made a mistake and promise to take far better care any further. once you've a sparkling licence you may make word of that too and then kindly and respectfully ask for lenience from the courtroom. on the proper of the day you probably did get incorrect and now you ought to pay for it.

Before you do ANYTHING!!, Purchase a copy of the police report. Find out how many, if any are willing to testify (witnesses)
If there are more than one witness, PAY THE FINE!!

If you feel you were not carelessly driving when you were supposed to be then fight the ticket. If you were carelessly driving, pay the fine.

If it is a case between you and your accuser, based on their word only, and without evidence, I would fight it.

MISS VICKY DON'T BE UPSET - HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO - GO TO COURT - THE STATE MUST PRODUCE THE WITNESS THAT SAW THE ALLEGED INFRACTION. IF THE WITNESS FAILS TO APPEAR THEN YOUR CASE WILL BE DISMISSED. JUST IN CASE SHE IS THERE YOU SHOULD MAKE A LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR THIS ALLEGED WITNESS TO ARGUE YOUR CASE IN COURT. SEND ME AND EMAIL AND TELL ME THE DETAILS AND I WOULD BE GLAD TO HELP YOU.

If there was no absolute proof that you did anything other than what someone reported, you should fight the ticket. I would actually really like to talk to you more about it, please contact me as soon as possible..

If you were truly driving carelessly you should pay the fine. If you weren't, you should fight it. Sleep on that one.

If it's a criminal proceeding, they have to prove it was YOU driving. If no one can prove I.D. you can't be convicted under law.
