You won't get away with it because of typo, but you might get away with it if the cop doesn't show up to court. You might even get it reduced to a lesser violation.

If you have a relatively clean driving record and hire a lawyer, you probably have a good chance at getting the ticket reduced and no points.

No need for a lawyer if you have a clean record. I have had success with just being humble and honest while asking the court for a reduction in the fine. I haven't had to do this for a while but I always got a reduction and even got it dismissed once.

If you have a clean record contact the DA office. Here in Kansas they will reduce it to a non moving violation AKA: parking ticket. The hitch is that you pay a double fine amount plus court cost. Also, you cannot get another speeding ticket for 12 months. In the grand scheme of local courts and law inforcement its all about generating revenue and oh yeah..... keeping the roads safe!

If your state does not allow that option then hire an attorney. Good luck.
