I was cited yesterday in New York City for an illegal right turn. The summons says "disobeyed sign no right turn 8A-8P".

The signs (there are 4 of them) actually read "no right turn 7A-7P"

Is the fact that the officer made this mistake give me solid ground on which to challenge the summons?

You could only challenge it if you made the turn AFTER 7 pm...other than that, you're out of luck on challenging based on this "mistake"
