[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Red light tickets usually do not come with points, just fines. They can't prove who is behind the wheel. The owner is liable for paying the fine -- it's up to them to collect from the driver the car was loaned to  if that's what happened.

Now, if they report to the insurance company (or insurance companies troll the databases for violations), that's a different matter. It could raise your rates, again because it's the car being insured. My insurance company seems to have never found out about the one I got years ago -- never lost my "good driver discount".

This was a speeding camera. Are you saying I'm responsible for paying even though I wasn't driving the car? Is that right? That can't be right.....right?!! Otherwise, why would they ask for the driver info when you contest the ticket?[/quote]

Don't worry about your license or insurance. This is just about the money. They will make it just about impossible to register your car and can send a collection agency after you.  The government does not care if you run 100 red lights or get 100 speeding tickets so long as you pay up.

Camera fines are in a weird legal category, it's more of an administrative violation than a traffic safety matter. And, yes, the government puts the responsibility on the vehicle owner to pay the fine, no matter who is driving.[/quote]
