How to beat red light photo enforcement program?

I was driving my wife's vehicle and ran a red light. We get the ticket with a photo of vehicle in intersection. We go online and see the vehicle run the light.

The question is there is no way to tell who is driving. It could have been Santa Clause.

If I go to court, can I demand they prove who was behind the wheel?

I will go drink a beer and wait for the answer.

    Many jurisdictions in my area have red-light cameras. The tickets belong to the registered owner of the vehicle.

    I was photographed running a red light (rainy, slick streets, didn't want to skid into the intersection) while driving a company truck a few years ago. The ticket went to the office and the company was required to pay because they were the ones that allowed me to drive the truck. Of course, they took the fine out of my pay.

    The point is, the ticket goes to whomever is the registered owner of the vehicle. They won't care who was driving, and it won't put any points on anyone's license for that very reason.

    As stated by the poster above, you could beg off and say neither of you was driving, but then the judge would ask you "Ok, was it stolen? Because if it wasn't stolen, then who WAS driving?"

    If the officer who gave you the ticket shows up in court, you're screwed, too.

    Something else to consider is ... why are YOU in court with the ticket in your hand if someone else was driving? Why aren't THEY at court ?

    Dude ... just fess up and hope for the best.

    And don't run red lights anymore.

    :D Best of luck !!

    In court, they will ask who was driving the vehicle on that day, at that time of day. If the answer "under oath" is they don't know they will turn it over to her insurance company and they will put her on high risk or cancel her because she lets people drive her car and she don't know who they are. Pay the fine....It will be cheaper in the long run.

    The best way to get out of a photo traffic ticket is when they send you a picture of you running a red light you send them a photo of the money! Works like a charm until they send you a picture of hand cuffs.

    you should export her to Iraq and characteristic her connect the Taliban. heavily, purely pay the wonderful and tell her that a lingering yellow gentle would not unavoidably mean you floor the accelerator. a image cost ticket is purely approximately impossible to beat with out some some surprisingly inventive manipulation and astonishing mitigating situations.
