1. Because of this error, can I have the ticket dismissed because of the technical error he made?

Not very likely.

2. There was no accident. Is it possible to argue the sheriff made a wrong judgement and that he neglected to consider the speed of the on-coming car on my left?

Perhaps. You will need to get the officer's sworn statement. It might be possible to prove that the officer's perspective was not very good -- due to angle, distance, etc. But, this will all be dependent on what the officer has to say in his statement.

Plus, of course, there's always a deferral.

I would suggest you read through this thread. It will give you a rundown of your options and how to go about obtaining discovery if you decide to contest it.
