Those kinds of mistakes may not dispose of the case, or a judge could throw it all out. If the judge doesn't throw it all out, then you would have to testify that you did not commit the violations cited. You should have a decent shot at it but you should have an attorney with you; if you're under 25 (and worse yet a male) your insurance record is at stake!!!!!!! And a conviction could cost hundreds on an insurance renewal.
