    Question Error on Cellphone Violation

    My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: New York.

    I was issued a cellphone violation ticket in New York. I have a CT license and the vehicle is registered in CT. The ticket says that the license is a NY license.

    I am supposed to either mail the ticket or show up at the appointed date and time and plead either guilty or not.

    I've tried to get in touch with the court to point out the error, and have not been able to. Is it grounds for dismissal, or should I not bother?

    It's the type of error I would expect the court to fix. But it's also the type of error I would personally prefer to leave in place. I've not researched whether this offense would be abstracted to Connecticut or trigger points in that state, but if they have the state wrong in the official records it's unlikely that it will be successfully abstracted even if that is the practice.

    Thanks for your reply. It's not actually a 'points' offense. It is a substantial (ridiculously so, I think) fine, so if I can find a way to beat it without actually having to go to court, I'd like to.
