Re: wrong person

Unless you can get someone at the court to understand your problem, you are going to have to go to court again. If they let you just call and say you are not the right person and they dismiss your case, then everyone would do that, or at least try it. Government does not always operate efficiently. If it really becomes a problem, hire a traffic attorney.
