Ill explain this ticket in some detail so that I can get some much needed assistance and advice on what to do in this situation. Over the long weekend I got in a minor rear end collision with another vehicle ( rate of speed 25km). No officer showed up on scene as no one was injured. The vehicle was towed to the collision centre and I was told to write a report and submitted it to the police officer at the front desk. The ticket I received was for careless driving . The ticket has multiple errors. These errors include , incorrect name ( name of other person in crash ) incorrect address , incorrect postal code , incorrect D.0.B , incorrect drivers license number and incorrect plate number. My question is , should I call the court house and let them know the issue ? Or should I not mention it and request a trial ( option 3 ). Are these problems enough for the ticket to get dropped ? Thanks in advance .

yes . Everything on the ticket is incorrect. But originally the ticket was meant for me. So should I call the court house and explain? I feel that not responding to the ticket may cause some problems on my end.

Well if you really want the ticket, then go right ahead and tell them all about their mistakes. If it was me, I would just keep it somewhere safe and if a conviction ever showed up on my record, then I can say that I never got a ticket and that I was only given a ticket for somebody else.

The only crummy thing in this situation is that it sounds like the ticket was properly made out in the other driver's name. The courts won't know about this mistake and the other driver will end up getting convicted in absentia.

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
