If you do that and don't try to "explain" it, it will get tossed.
That’s not how it works. The moment you testify about any part of it, you can questioned about all of the circumstances.
So? He is charged with speeding at 8 am. He was not speeding at 8 am. They can’t change the charge to speeding at 2, what is on paper is what counts.
Yes, the can order corrections to the ticket, and your odds of any kind of reduction are near zero once the judge sees you’re playing games to avoid paying.

How old is your son?
Tell him to slow down and driver properly so he is not the next teen statistic we hear about on the news.
He needs to pay the ticket and reimburse you for any extra insurance costs you incure because of this.
Seriously, this is how kids grow up entitled and not wanting to take responsibility

They can and will. BIL spent so much time and money trying to get a DUI tossed out based on wrong date or time on the ticket. The judge just ordered the ticket to be corrected and proceeded with the case.

I am a lawyer and just sat through hours of traffic court for my own ticket in VA. It is true those with lawyers did not have to appear, but other than that everyone got the same result, represented or not.

Sure, but judges want police to do their job correctly as well.

Plus, he signed it, right? It’s just a typo error, the ticket is not invalidated.

Might be able to get out of it.
I think it's worth trying because of the points, personally.

My DS just received a speeding ticket in Fairfax County. The ticket states the time of the offense was 8:03am but he was pulled over around 2:00pm. He was at work at 8:03am. If he goes to court to contest the ticket, would he have a valid protest?
