if the date a ticket was written is this a means to dismissal

Please be advised that my answer in no way creates a lawyer/client relationship.   I am both a S.C. board certified internist and attorney. The date a ticket is written is what is important.  An error is just an error, as we all make them.  You need to show up on the court date, and with or without an attorney (the latter is preferrable) and pursuade the officer to dismiss the ticket.  You may also request a jury trial or you may simply present your case (preferrably with an attorney) to the judge.  The date error does is not grounds for dismissal, but can be discussed with the officer or judge.
