Speeding in Florida, ticket has numerous errors

I got pulled over in FL for doing 58 in a 40 (Was not going that fast either, but that's what he said). He wrote the ticket down to Failure to Obey a Traffic Device, 40 MPH speed sign.

I drive a 2005 Silver Nissan Titan PIckup

When looking over the ticket, he had me driving a Gray Nissan SUV with the tag number one character wrong in it. Just curious what kind of chance I stand in court on this one. I already have a court date.

None. Florida lets you take traffic school and the ticket not be reported on your record, assuming you have a Florida license. They also reduce the fine by 18%.

Yes, Florida does allow you to elect traffic school. Once per year for a limit of 5 in a lifetime. I think I already have attended 3. Also, it does not reduce the fine by 18%, for my ticket it would drop less than 10%, then I still have to pay for the traffic school

After electing a court date, can I call and cancel that and elect traffic school?
