Improperly filled out ticket

What is the name of your state? GA
I have recently received a speeding ticket in GA. The deputy did not fill out the ticket correctly. He placed my name where the address should go. Could this be grounds to have the ticket thrown out of court? What are my other options, other than taking the points. I would pay the fine with no issues, if I could avoid the points.

People...even cops...are allowed to make mistakes. Will not be tossed due to this. Just show up in court, and see what the judge says. Who knows maybe the officer wont show up, or wont remember the details of your case, then you get a dismissal...a freebie.

Number one rule in this case, Dont testify. Do ask the officer a lot of questions before showing the judge the mistake.
