Default Got pulled over today, not my car

I was working this morning driving my boss's van to pick up participants for our center (senior daycare) and I accidently turned right on a ''no right turn during 7:00-8:00 AM'' sign. I didn't see the sign until it was too late because I was trying to find the street where the next person I needed to pick up was. I also don't know the area because I only recently started working in LA and I'm from SD. So there was the cop just camping there and as I pass...Red and Blue. He pulls me over.

From then on, He asks for my license. Just license, no registration. So I was puzzled but still gave him my license. He gave me the ticket for Right Turn Infraction or something and let me leave. I looked at the ticket later on and he put the registration of the car as ''same as license'' and also the other info ''same as license''.

Since he wrote it wrong, as in didn't check registration, is it possible to void the ticket or something. Or it doesn't matter and I need to go and pay?

Go to the municipality and ask them. Or call if you don't know where that is. Number should be on the ticket.

Go to court and plead your case. Maybe they'll let you do driving school. Tell them you world for senior daycare and were distracted on the new route and didn't see the sign because one of the elders was trying to remove their seatbelt and your were concerned for their safety.

You can definitely get it dismissed. Proper paperwork is very important in court.

It's possible to get it dismissed over such a small thing? Since it's mainly targeting me as the driver.
