Just got a ticket

If you were actually going faster, the officer cut you a break and wrote you for 9 over. If you fight it in court, you'll face amendment by the officer to the actual speed which will lower your chance. If you use an attorney they'll represent you and likely motion to plea; in other words, court fees, lesser fine, no points, possibly driver improvement course, etc. It'll end up costing more than the actual citation. See if your state offers driver improvement school to possibly avoid points.

As far as the wrong time and vehicle information, courts aren't going to look at them as the citation does have your license plate and driver information to provide proof beyond reasonable doubt it was you and your vehicle.
