An incorrect description of the vehicle on a traffic citation can make the ticket invalid. In your case, the year of the vehicle is incorrect on the citation. This is a material error that could lead to the dismissal of the ticket.
To fight the ticket, you will need to appear in court on the date specified on the citation. Be sure to bring the citation with you, as well as any evidence you have that supports your claim that the year of the vehicle is incorrect. This could include the vehicle registration, insurance card, or a recent repair bill.
At the hearing, you will need to explain to the judge why you believe the ticket is invalid. Be prepared to answer questions from the judge and the prosecutor. If you are able to prove that the year of the vehicle is incorrect, the judge may dismiss the ticket.
If the ticket is dismissed, you will not have to pay the fine or attend traffic school. You will also get your driver's license points back.
