In my experience in the Northeast, the agency sending the summons doesn’t care who is driving the vehicle. They only care who it’s registered to. They only want the money from the fine, which is why there are no points on the driver’s license for the violation.
Presumably, this gets around the 5th Amendment because they’re basically citing a vehicle, not a person, for the violation.

I don’t understand how it can be legal to make me guilty of anything done by someone driving my car.
That must be terrible for rental companies and I guess it will come to apply to skeet shotguns and baseball bats eventually.
