I would add, since the officer did not witness the accident, he can only really testify as to the statements you made to him, and to describe the scene he saw when he arrived. So proving the charges in court depends on whether you made self-incriminating statements to the officer, or whether the scene of the accident (including damage to the cars) indicates strongly that you committed the offense, or the other driver testifies as a witness. Without more details it's hard to tell which way it will go, but if you have any chance of getting the charges dismissed, it's because there may not be sufficient evidence, rather than the error on the ticket. The error on the ticket could be used to throw into doubt the credibility of the police officer if he repeats this error while testifying in court (e.g. by reading off the ticket).
