[s-cars] Speeding ticket technicality

I got pulled over this past Friday in Vermont for speeding on Rt. 103 in
Cavendish (near Ludlow).  The officer clocked me at 65 in a 50 with
"moving radar".  I had just come around a corner and quickly slowed down
for traffic at a railroad crossing, he was in the opposite lane and
immediately flashed his lights, made a U-turn and pulled me over.  He
said he clocked me before I slowed down for the traffic.  

Looking at the ticket when I got home, I see there are two errors -- the
date is 3/11 when it was actually 3/12, the "Place or landmark" is
written as "Green Mountain Produce" when in fact it was "Black River
Produce" (close, but no cigar!).  Ticket was $125 (ouch!).  I'm not if
I'll get points in Connecticut, if so, that would really hurt.

Is there any chance that if I go to court the ticket will be dismissed
on a technicality?  It's a long way to White River Junction to the court
house from here...
