Careless Driving puppetfoam

I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.

Unread post by shuang05 »

I was deemed 100% at fault in rear ended accident. Officer gave me ticket cited Sect 158 (1). However on the "Did commit the offence of " section, the officer wrote " Follow To closely". Please note there is an "o" missing in the "too". Is there any chance if can argue that in court? Thanks
