| | | The error does not prevent you from presenting a valid defense the the citation. The number 8 and letter B are extremely close to looking the same and could easily be confused for one another. Did you check to make sure the office dotted all the "I's", I have heard that used as an excuse to have a citation dismissed.

| | | Best thing to do is to read the statute you were charged with. The procedures MUST match every point. If not, as Racer said, there's a chance the ticket can be DISMISSED for PROCEDURAL ERROR. Altho, i have to say juxtaposing the letter "B" for the number "8" is not that blatant, it might be worth it if the statute covers it.
Go here for New Jersey Statutes (Title 39 covers driving/traffic charges)

good luck...and let us know what happens! |
