Q: The officer put my court date as January 2019. He clearly meant January 2020 but is there any chance for dismissal?
It was for going 60 in a 30 on a backroad cops are never on and you can see straight ahead far enough in advance to slow/stop if the need arises. However, 60 in a 30 is a nasty ticket and one I'd love to get out of if possible because the chance they care about it being safe despite speeding is low at best.

A: I recommend going to Court. Be respectful and kindly tell the cop/prosecutor/ judge of the obvious mistake, but you are here anyway and would like to keep points off your MVR if possible.
