Q: Can I get my traffic ticket dismissed due to wrong vehicle information?
I got a traffic violation for going 46mph in a 30mph. Once I reviewed the ticket I noticed the vehicle information was incorrect the license plate says it’s from OR when the car actually has a Californian plate due to it being a rental. Is this enough to get my ticket dismissed ? How would I go about this ?
A: An incorrect vehicle information on a traffic ticket may not automatically result in dismissal of the ticket. However, it could potentially be used as a defense if you choose to contest the ticket. To address this issue, you can gather evidence to prove that the vehicle information on the ticket is incorrect, such as providing documentation from the rental company or any other relevant evidence.
A: A speeding ticket isn't going to be dismissed because it had the wrong state for the vehicle license. It could be evidence for your defense to question the credibility of the officer. I recommend you contact several attorneys in your area that practice this type of law, as soon as possible. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.
