    Default Wrong date on speeding ticket when issued by officer

    Can my speeding ticket be cancled if the information or in this case the date on the ticket is wrong.

    ie.. I was given a ticket on the 6/7/2005 but the officer wrote 6/6/2005. This also means that because the ticket had the wrong info on it I have to pay more because the 28 day's time i get to pay it jas also gone over..??

    what can I do?.

    Thanks

    I my math class the 28 days has come and gone regardless of which date you use. If you had a court appearance or were required to take care of it by a certain date you have been found guilty and lost your right to contest the ticket. Therefore the mistake does not matter since you cannot now challenge the ticket.

    You can either call the court and pay whatever fines have been assessed or wait and pay much more later after your license has been suspended.

    I got the fine in the 6/7/2005 and the date now is 24/7/2005, so the number of days have been 18,

    Can you advise.

    thanks.

    Sorry. Not used to international posters. Midlands did not mean anything to me.

    I think if you can prove (have a witness) you were somewhere else on the date/time written on your ticket, you may have a chance of getting off. If, however, the officer appears and testifies that he/she simply made a clerical error and can give the correct date, you'll probably be out of luck. But the officer probably won't have an independent recollection of when the stop was made, so it might be worth a try.

    BTW, where is "midlands"?
