OT Speeding tickets
Got one the other day. It has one small mistake on the ticket. Instead of 1234 Main St it says 123 Main St as my address. Is this enough of an error not to pay??

In some cases it could be.
I got a ticket once because my tire was touching the outside of a handicaped space,I was not in the space,I was in the one next to it,it was touching because of the car parked next to me was over to far.I went to court and the policeman was there and I asked him to prove it,the judge looked at him and said,Well?,he had no proof,case dismissed.

Here in North Dakota, no. Where you are at, don't know, you would have to go to court. I would think that it would not be enough of an error, generally the error has to affect the evidence of the offense, in your case it doesn't. I would not just not pay it, you'll likely loose your license over it.

I would fight it, why not. I have had enough BS tickets I don't mind fighting the ones I deserve.
Did the officer drop the ticket at all, I mean, did he reduce the speed for you as they often do? I ask because if he did and you lose the fight you end up paying the original speed.
Good luck.

My own philosophy is that if I get caught and I'm guilty, then I'll pay up.
I agree with Grizz on this one! Now if you were really innocent I would fight it but not otherwise. I recieved a ticket one time trout fishing because the regulations were completely wrong with boundaries listed. I had the maps with me and the regulations and while I was trying to explain all of this to the warden he kept on writing the ticket without even looking at what I was trying to show him in writing. It would have been easiest for me to just pay the fine but I took a day off work and went to court on that one more for the principle of it than the fee. The couple of speeding tickets I've recieved I've been courtious to the officer while recieving the ticket (but not happy) because I knew I was guilty of the offence. My 2 cents.
Why ride when you can walk!

I'm sure not trying to come off as virtuous ... and I intend no slight to Chris, as I'm sure is the case with all of us who say that if you're guilty, then it's time to "pay the piper" ... not you, Pydpiper!
I really do believe in "taking your lumps," though. Punishment is no insult if you're guilty, and we all share in responsibility when it comes to upholding the law. I was taught that if you did it, then you were to take the consequences and go on with head held high.
Now when you're innocent, I say by no means should you suffer punishment without objection ... it is as much your duty to protest in that case as it is to own the consequence when you're guilty.
It's all about justice, in the end. If I am going to demand justice when someone else does something wrong (whatever it may be), then I have to be willing to endure justice when I have been wrong.
That's the way I see it.

Im with grizz, ive always been raised if I do the crime, then i iwll do the time and not complain. Now of coarse if I were innocent then I would fight.
as for that small address mistake, 99% of judges will laugh at that. They will say you have been found guilty, see the clerk and pay the ticket.
If you have a clean record the judge will send you to driving school usually. Then you dont get charged and just have to show the judge a peice of paper:)
We all make mistakes speeding, we have had at onetime. I got a 67 in a 55 once and had to take driving school. Needless to say I dont drive more than 10 over anymore Unless you count the night I was on the way to the hospital with my wife about to have my son.. I drove a average of 90 that night LMAO since she had my leg pinned to the floor and was screaming like a mad woman

I wouldn't fight a justified ticket but I've used a "Points" type service to fight an unfair ticket successfully. Cost me several hundred $ to fight it, but saved me a fortune in insurance. It was an accident-related ticket in which I felt the cop was wrong, apparently the judge throught so too.
