The complaint does not need to indicate anything about the traffic violations. You will need a good lawyer to try and get a DWAI violation as opposed to a DWI misdemeanor.

The speeding ticket might be dismissed but the OWI would proceed.

The complaint is not defective. The police still have to prove all the charges though. You should get an attorney.

No the complaint is not defective. They don't even care about the speed or the yield. They've got a bigger fish to dry, and it's called DUI. Hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

The complaint is not defective. What can happen? You can be convicted on all counts charged. These charges are very serious. My advice: hire an attorney.
