My son's age has been incorrectly recorded on a speeding ticket - is it now invalid? | Ask Honest John

My son's age has been incorrectly recorded on a speeding ticket - is it now invalid?

My teenage son has been given a fixed penalty notice for exceeding a 30mph limit by a policeman checking with a hand-held speed camera. The notice shows my son's date of birth as 30 June 2010 - this would make him two months old. Would this have an effect on the validity of the ticket?

No. Not this sort of technicality. Pay up.
