You don't say what the ticket was for but most traffic tickets would require that the car was being driven, r case of things like DUI, that you had 'actual physical control' of the car. If the car was inoperable, then it would be unlikley one could be convicted of any offense requiring 'driving' or 'actual physical control'.
