Hello, I have received a ticket today. I passed on red light 55 on 40 right in front of a cop. He stopped me, I was extremely nice to him. So he decided to give me a ticket only for passing on a red light. He told me it will only one point on my record. Although DMV Alabama site says it is 3 points. Whom should I believe? I have couple of questions to people who know about tickets.
1. Will it affect my insurance, if yes do you think it is going to be very high? I am 19 living in Alabama.
2. I have looked at ticket and it looks like police officer made a mistake copying my name, twice, last name and my fathers name. I am an international, a lot of people make mistake writing my name. Does ticket still count?. If it doesn't count will that officer be punished for writing my name wrong? Because he was very nice to me, we even shook hands :))). Please answer my questions, and have a blessed day. Happy Holidays

It does not matter if he misspelled your name. Nor is what he told you regarding the number of points or the amount of the ticket binding.
The best thing you could do is go to court and try to get the judge to reduce the fine. If not, plead nolo or no contest and pay your fine.
And for pete's sake, drive more carefully! You could have killed someone!

Whatever DMV says is what goes. Yes it will go against your rates. A misspelling does not make the ticket go away.
