What happens if two people sign a statutory declaration implicating the other as the driver?

Like if an automatic speed camera picks up their car speeding and the primary owner gets sent a fine. If they both claim that they were not driving and there is no evidence either way, how can anyone be found liable?

    The owner gets the fine. The exception is when someone else admits to driving. There is no exception for when someone doesn't take responsibility, then it reverts back to the owner.

    If the police really feel like investigating something like this, they would speak to both people, ask them what they were doing at the time they were supposedly not driving,and form their conclusions as to which person's story seemed the most likely.

    If there was absolutely no way to prove either way, ultimately the registered owner is responsible, unless they can prove they were not driving the car.

    Owner of the car pays the fine. It's THAT simple.
