Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

An error on a speeding ticket

I received a speeding ticket for doing 69 in a 50. The officer charged me with VA code 46.2-878 which is Authority to change speed limits. shouldn't this be a incomplete identification of the offense, for 878 is not the code that i actually broke. thank you

which you were issued in no way signifies "an incomplete identification of the offense", to use your phraseology, as long as your 69mph speed in a 50mph zone is noted on the ticket.
