Cop wrote down wrong license number on traffic ticket

[penguin8000]

Got a traffic ticket for alledgedly speeding in CA and the officer wrote down the wrong driver's license (forgot one digit, mis-wrote another digit) on the traffic ticket. It's an infraction ticket.

I have an out of state license (WA state). Everything else accpears to

Question is: is this a fatal flaw? Will the county be able to process this or is the flaw so fatal (e.g. they can't find my record because they can't match it up to a WA state record)? Any thoughts on a strategy on whether to fight this ticket or just pay the fine (and take the hit)? (They require in-person traffic school which makes it difficult to attend).

Tried looking this up on Google and there wasn't anything terribly helpful. Any thoughts on this appreciated.

hi. was just wondering how this turned out for you. i just got a ticket and the cop wrote my DL# on the ticket correctly but it was entered into their system incorrectly. did the points find their way onto your driving record?

Might call the tele # on the ticket and ask them
