My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: New York

Hi all,

First time poster, great board here. I received my first ticket ever (87 in a 65, and still missed my flight). I pleaded not guilty and just received my court date summons in the mail. The date given was September 16th, 1999. Obviously, this date is in the past. What angle do I take on this? I know that when the ticket is issued, any misspelling, misinformation etc, can be fought, and lead to possible means for dismissal. Anything in particular I should consider in this instance? Should I not show up? Should I call the DA's office? Any possible suggestions?

Thanks!
