If I got a speeding ticket and the officer misspelled my last name is ticket fightable?

Typically not. What is required is that the ticket give you notice of the infraction so you can properly contest it. This would be especially true if the officer correctly wrote down your driver's license number.

The purpose of a traffic summons is to place the violator on notice of essentially "Who did what, when and where?" It is a common misconception that a ticket will get "thrown out" because of a minor defect, such as describing the vehicle as "black" instead of "navy blue." The fact that your name is spelled incorrectly on the ticket is not a fatal defect and will not be a basis for a dismissal unless it is your position that you were not the driver of the vehicle who received the ticket. However, if you make this argument and the officer appears in court and positively identifies you as the driver, you will then have a problem alleging this defense as well. Please also bear in mind that if you simply chose to ignore the ticket based upon the fact that your name was misspelled, the Court will ultimately track you down by your drivers license number (which probably appears on the ticket) and you will have to address not only the speeding ticket, but you failure to appear in Court.

The ticket may be "fightable" but not only because of a misspelled name.
