seeing that he mis-identified the car, that should be reason enough to get it dismissed. if you go to court, ask the judge to dismiss the ticket because of the wrong car being put down. don't know where you are from, but in FL, you have a pre trail where you can plead no contest, take it to a real trail, or can ask for it to be dismissed based on the fact that the information "withing the four corners of the ticket" is incorrect. that can be the wrong statute or etc. if you are going to take this to court, postpone the ticket atleast once. then take it to court. the reason for this is that in the event you go to trail the court date would be pushed a couple months away. if you cross examine the cop, if he does show up, and he can not remember specific details, like the conditions, weather, cars on the road, also the fact he could not remeber what kind of car you had, it discredits his testimony, so he can not defend himself for writing the ticket. you need as much time as you can get before you go to trail so he can forget this stuff. you can then ask for the ticket to be dismissed based on the fact that the cop can not remeber details of the night. i have personally done this and it does work. hope this helps you and anyone else who gets some BS ticket like i once did.
