Only if the license plate was the reason for the stop. The incorrect plate number does not prevent you from presenting a valid defense to the citation.

More info needed

Depends
Were you issued the ticket by an officer?
Or by a camera?
According to the information on the website Speeding Ticket FAQ

Material defects may include: *See MCL 257.742(1), 257.727c(3), and MCR 4.101(E)(1).

• No signature on the citation by the citing officer. Incorrect identification of the defendant. • Incomplete identification of the offense. • Failure to specify the location of the offense. • Failure to specify the date of the offense, or entry of an incorrect date.

How wrong is the licence plate on your ticket?
One number or letter badly written or more?

It was one wrong letter.

 

[Hey There]

Plan B

Charmagne72 It was one wrong letter

If you plan on fighting your ticket information on the internet and at a library can be used to fight the violation itself rather than step into court with a defence that one letter was incorrect on the licence plate.
One option a driver cited for a traffic violation has is to enter a not guilty plea on the violation itself. When a driver enters a not guilty plea he is simply stating that he is exercising his right to have his day in court. That it is the obligation of the prosecution to prove guilt , not the obligation of the driver.

I don't care if the OP was going 60 in a 45 zone as that doesn't necessarily mean the OP is guilty of anything. If you would spend a bit of time reading the vehicle code and applicable case law, you would know that. Furthermore, the whole intent of this site is to offer opinions on viable legal defenses... not to determine guilt or innocence.
