If the summons is returnable at Traffic Violations Bureau ,then it is not dismissable for this error. You will have the right to cross-examine the P.O. at hearing and the error may affect his/her credability. You may contact my office @7188340087 for a free phone consultation.

The summons is valid but may be subject to dismissal at trial. It depends in part at which court your case is scheduled. I would definitely fight this ticket. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] to give me further information and discuss strategy.
