1. “[D]efendant’s argument that the summonses should be dismissed ... fails since the defendant was issued a summons at the scene of the violation on August 20,1994, albeit in the wrong name.

Therefore, process was issued within thirty days of the occurrence as directed by N.J.S.A. 39:5-3 and defendant’s convictions for N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 and 39:3-39c must not be reversed on statute of limitations grounds. [ 291 N.J.Super. at 496 , 677 A.2d 824 .]”
