Legal Question in Traffic Law in Indiana

I received a "complaint and summons" traffic citation in Goshen, Indiana on December 12, 2009 for not wearing a seat belt. The court date to plead not guilty was written on the ticket as January 16, 2009, which is months before the ticket was written. Also, January 16, 2010 is a Saturday and the court is closed that day. How can I use this mistaken court date to invalidate the ticket?

You probably cannot use the mistake to invalidate the ticket. If the court is closed on that Saturday, the court date is automatically rolled over to the next date that the court is open.

I suggest that you confirm what is going on with the CLerk's office.
