Default Nashville traffic court - anyone familiar?

I got pulled over in the HOV lane a couple days ago on my way home from work. I'm never on the road that early but had to be back very early to help walk a new manager through proper procedures to discipline an employee. So I was sent home early, and on the phone with hubby not thinking at all, the unmarked patrol car (yes, I knew that's what it was) in front of me was poking along at 10 MPH under the speed limit, bogging up traffic, so I went around her. In the HOV lane. Completely forgot that I'd left work early and wasn't supposed to be in that lane.

Now, I know I'm at fault. But I really hate the HOV lane thing to begin with. It just ticks me off. I work 2 hours away from home and like that day, my schedule can change within the day. I can't carpool so it ticks me off that I'm being punished for that. And it ticks me off that other idiots can't get out of the passing lane when they want to poke along. And it really ticks me off that a deputy or police officer was one of the ones doing it. Kind of wonder if she did it on purpose to get someone to pass her, thinking they wouldn't notice she was an unmarked unit.

Anyway, the ticket she wrote me - another thing that ticks me off since I've had a spotless record for over 20 years now - is totally messed up. My name is wrong, the date is wrong, etc. I have no clue what in the world she was doing when she wrote it. Other than not paying attention.

So, my question is, based on the fact that the ticket is totally messed up, can I get that thrown out in court if I fight it? I worked law enforcement in Florida and if we messed up any part of the ticket and someone fought it, it was immediately tossed out, no questions asked. Just wondering if it works the same way here.

Yes, I know, I'm guilty I should pay the fire, but I'm bitter about the whole thing for the reason mentioned and if I can get out of it, that's what I'd like to do. Nope, not fair, but it's how I feel.

So, any idea?

bran_smith is on a distinguished road
I have no clue..But we had someone do that to my us here in WH ....the officer wrote the wrong date (or it looked like it, could tell waht it is) I would call and talk to someone...becuase they may get on to you for missing your court date.Im sure since you have had a spotless record you will just have to go to driving school...
