The site the OP maintains (if you can call it that, as it's extremely
difficult to find information) claims that, legally, you do not need to
prove otherwise, the police need to prove to the judge that the picture
taken is really of you. In practice, of course, a mean judge could take
the word of the cop without even looking at the picture (and this
presupposes that you have to go to court to make them prove you weren't
driving, instead of your friend being handed a ticket personally and not
getting you involved at all).
I have to admit I'm a bit confused by all the rhetoric on his site.
It's your car, so shouldn't you be responsible for all of the people you
allow to drive it? Perhaps you might not deserve the points on your
license, but you've probably earned the fine.
I'm also confused as to how this will work with clients of City Car
Share and their ilk. If a ticket is sent to CCS, they can't have points
added to their license, eh? They can pass on the fine to you (I believe
their policies state that they do this), but (if you believe the OP's
site) they have no obligation to turn you in. Perhaps companies like
this have an exemption where they are required to turn in its drivers?
