Camera traffic ticket got sent to me, why do I have to pay it?

I own the car, it is titled to me. But I was not driving the car. But the ticket says I have to pay it? Can they do that? If they want to know who was driving the car do I have to tell them who I thought it was? The ticket is $100.00 and if I don't pay by December 3rd it is $130.00



This is a lot of money. Can anyone help me?Camera traffic ticket got sent to me, why do I have to pay it?
What state do you live in? Because there is this website highwayrobbery.com or. Net I forget which one but its free and it shows how you can get out of the ticket legally. You are the registered owner of the vehicle but how can you be responsible for something another person does in your vehicle that's absurd. So if you let your friend borrow your vehicle while you were out of town and he robbed a bank and they didn't catch him and you knew nothing about it would they take you to jail and charge you with the robbery no way. These people don't know what that are talking about they're morons. I have gone to the website and that helped me get out of the ticket. Same situation with Me someone was driving my vehicle and got a red light traffic camera ticket and it got sent to my house. I went to court fought it and won. Go to court dressed appropriately show the judge some respect tell him not guilty wrong defendant bring in your ticket that shows the pictures and it should be as simple as that and he should dismiss it. If he asks you who it is you can choose to exercise your right to remain silent essentially pleading the 5th. It's not against the law to do that not tell them who it is. But obviously if you say you don't know and you really do and they find out that's very bad its considered perjury so just remain silent. Go to the website and get educated because you don't have to pay it if its not you. Its all legal if someone says its not they are idiots this is America it's the land of loopholes. Let me know if it works or pm me
The car is registered to you. For camera tickets, the registered owner is presumed to be the driver, so you are responsible for the ticket. If you choose to identify the actual driver to the authorities, then they may pursue action against that person and drop it against you (it'll depend on state law and procedure). But you absolutely can not get out of it by simply saying "I wasn't the one driving but I'm not going to tell you who did." If you could, everyone and his brother would use that as a defense to avoid any and all culpability. If you don't want to tell the authorities who was driving, then you're responsible for the fine since you're responsible for the car as the registered owner.Camera traffic ticket got sent to me, why do I have to pay it?
The violation is to the vehicle, charged to the registered owner. You're responsible for the summons. I suggest that whoever was driving your auto on that day gets a bill from you. Don't pay it and your registration may be revoked.
In my state you are allowed to "nominate" a driver to pay the fine for you. See if they have this info on the back of the ticket or perhaps a website you can go to for more information. Bottom line is someone is going to be paying - might as well be the person who is guilty.Camera traffic ticket got sent to me, why do I have to pay it?
It's your car, you're responsible for what happens to it. If the driver parked in a handicapped spot you'd be paying an even larger fine and having to get your car out of the impound lot. The fact that you didn't park in the spot yourself would not make a smidgen of difference in that situation either.
Unless you can prove you weren't driving and prove who was you have to pay the ticket. Your car, your responsibility.



Also, if you don't know who is driving your car you are being incredibly negligent.
The photo ticket is like a parking ticket. The owner has to pay it. They won't ask you who was driving the car unless you go to court then you would have to admit that you were driving the car because you would be under oath.
yes, you have to pay it. the ticket is "attached" to the vehicle, not the driver
Ticket goes to the car, and as such, to the car's owner.



I'd recommend getting whoever was driving it to come up with the $100.

Hi Dena, If It is your car registered to you then you are responsible for it. You have to pay the ticket. If someone took and used your car without your permission then that is theft. If you let someone use it,you can ask them to act responsibly and pay up. Either way the ticket will have to be paid. If the person whom you lent the car to will not pay up I think the only choice you have would be to take them to a small claims court to try and retrieve the money owed. Whatever happens if they don't pay then never lend the person the car again,and use this as a lesson as it could have been worse they could have been in an accident or been caught under the influence etc. I hope this helps,all the best.
