is the ticket still valid if...?
 

okay

i just got a ticket on king george for speeding while i was passing
(the officer can't tell me how fast exactly i was going. he said 70ish 80ish and convince me to pay the ticket early)

and now that when i look at the ticket
my last name is spelled wrong
the registered owner's last name is spelled wrong
now is the ticket is valid?

:gotsearch

Refer to shaded areas.

The spelling of your last name might be something to argue, but I have heard JP's decide that if the driver's license number and birthdate were correct that was enough to identify you properly and refuse to dismiss because of a misspelling in the name.

And on the other side of coin, a friend of mine once got a ticket dismissed because his name was spelled wrong. His statement to the JP: "This name... is not me."

:lol

I could imagine the JP asking "well, was it you that was driving?"

Then he would be SOL, or he could have lied.

The logical answer would be, "Sure, I might have been driving somewhere, sometime, maybe even right there... I might even have been speeding, or not... but I'm not the person named on this ticket."

umm why would you show up to dispute the ticket then if it wasnt for you?

If a cop handed you a ticket that was for someone else, wouldn't you dispute it?
