Incorrect location

[ccheetah88]

I received a traffic ticket for "failure to stop when exiting a private driveway". I plan on fighting the ticket, but I noticed that the officer annotated the 5400 block of Fred Rd when the plaice I exited from was 5555 Fred Rd. I never entered the highway from the location written down. There was a car adjacent to me that entered the road at the same time. Can I challenge the ticket on that basis?

You can challenge it for a myriad of reasons.
You select that reason, the prosecutor will simply seek leave to amend it, if its incorrect.
The judge will so order it, the trial will move onward.

If traffic school is available, request it. Cheaper solution, too.

Or, request DEFERRED ADJUDICATION. Costs more, but always works.

Otherwise, fewer than 2% of traffic court (JP Court) traffic citation defendants prevail. That means 98% don't.

You will need a better reason if you are going to be successful challenging it. If you did not make a conjecture stop (which might be proven with video) then traffic school is the way to go.
I suggest you read the vehicle code section you were cited for and see if you can honestly make a valid argument.
