So who do they ticket?

We have four drivers in our family.

If you can’t identify the driver who do you ticket, the vehicle?

In TX they will only need the vehicle.

Our insurance policies are on the vehicle, with a list of eligible drivers.

To avoid the rate increase, I guess anyone could take the defensive driving course. (???)

They ticket the person whose name is on the title no matter who is driving.

They are supposed to ticket the owner of the vehicle.
And then it is the responsibility of the owner to prove that they were not driving the vehicle and designate who was.

Of course, if the cities aren’t processing the tickets as they have not been doing...all of this is inconsequential.LOL

“So who do they ticket?

We have four drivers in our family.”

From the article:

When there is no age or gender match in San Diego, police can either discard the ticket or investigate further to see if they can identify who was driving. Sometimes they’ll compare the red light runner’s photo with DMV photos of other people living in the same house, San Diego Police Sgt. Joe Bane said.

“We don’t send it to court unless you match the photo,” Bane said. “They’re very stringent in the courts as far as what can be filed.”

But in Orange County and several others jurisdictions across the state, the court doesn’t require police to verify that the person in the photo is the person ticketed. The vehicle code doesn’t require it, Slater says.

Instead, the ticket packet mailed to each motorist includes a form asking the car’s owner to identify the person who was driving. Giving up the real driver is not required by law, despite what the paperwork implies. The court expects that motorists will appear before a judge if they’re not the person pictured. The judge can decide whether the person standing in the courtroom looks like the person in the photo.
