Incorrect Birthdate On Ticket For Expired Sticker

Hello,

I am a newbie.


I received a $100 ticket for HTA section 7 expired sticker.


The police officer issued the ticket with an incorrect date of birth?


What are my options?


Thank you

An incorrect birth date is not a fatal error. Your best option is therefore to set it down for trial and then on the trial date either hope the officer doesn't attend (whereby it should get withdrawn) or take a reduced fine offer by the prosecutor. That offence is a black-and-white one (there's no grey area). Your sticker was either expired or it wasn't. If you've got no proof of renewing it before expiry, then you'll really have no defence.
