My question involves traffic court in the State of: California
Hello all,
I posted a while back about receiving a ticket on my motorcycle for violating VC 21755; I am accused of crossing the fog line in a section of freeway with two merging HOV lanes from two different freeways.
I have already plead not guilty and have a date set in mid-January, but I've discovered the information on the ticket is incorrect. The ticket occurred near the "Orange Crush" in Orange County, where several different freeways are located. However, this was specifically in a protected HOV-only section of two merging freeways, and he wrote down the two wrong highways.
While preparing and researching for my defense, I've come across many sites that seem to indicate small errors (such as the difference between a blue and green vehicle) are not a big deal, but that major discrepancies may result in the case being tossed. So with that in mind, I'm curious of your thoughts on:
1) Could the incorrect freeway on the ticket result in a dismissed case?
2) If it does not get dismissed, will this adversely affect defending myself in any way since the indicated interchange does not, in fact, actually exist?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For what it's worth, the ticket also contains "Beat", "Area" and "Special" fields with numbers written in them. I suppose it's possible that the wrong freeways are moot if these numbers are correct, but I personally have no idea what those fields mean or the numbers within them.
