| | | | | (...) My biggest complaint about photo radar is, is that it's up to me to prove that I wasn't behind the wheel. Guilty before proven innocent and all that. For example: last week, I was mugged and car-jacked and left on the side of the road. After (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | (...) I have been the recipient of one of these tickets, and I have yet to hear of any final outcome. I recieved a letter in the mail with a picture of one of my vehicles, showing the posted speed limit and the speed that the car was going. The (...)

Maybe it's different in the States, but here, if you are the registered owner of a vehicle, then you are responsible for that vehicle.(1) If someone else is driving it, they are driving it either: a) with your permission, either implicit (...)

| | | | | | (...) Don't know about other localities, but here (Phoenix AZ), if you get a photo-radar ticket, the drivers face *must* be clearly visible. If it is obscured, they will not process the ticket. So, when driving though photo-radar country, keep the (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

If they determine which family member *might* have been driving then I would gladly pay (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | | I think you might be splitting hairs here. You're the vehicle owner. Unless it was stolen, you're responsible for what was done with the vehicle. Tell your drivers not to speed or they will have to pay the tickets and increased insurance costs for (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I have very strong opinions about the topic and want to see the government work for every cent that they will get from me on this ticket. I am unsure of how (...)
