Question about a potential incorrect citation

I got a speeding ticked for going 75 in a 55 on route 17 in New York State. On the ticket it says I was in violation of NYS V AND T LAW, Section Sub Section 1180B. When looking it up online, I went to the NYS page, went through, and found the Vehicle and Traffic Laws, but there was no sub section 1180B, only 1180 and 1180A.
Is this going to make a difference if I bring it up in court?

Ahh. Fair enough. Thank you. Looks like my best bet is to plead not guilty and go for a fine reduction.
Thanks again.

If you plead not guilty, you will get a trial.
