Re: Wrong car information
A ticket is an accusation. It can be amended. When you object (if you do), the officer can either reticket you or have the solicitor prepare an accusation, and proceed. They have two years to do that.
Re: Wrong car information
In all probability the charge will not be dismissed. There is the possibility that the officer completed an accident report which would, or at least should, detail the circumstances of the accident as told to him by the parties or witnesses. The ticket could be amended.
