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 you as a condition of vehicle
use.(1)

Now, the notion of whether traffic laws are just is another matter. If
the road in question were private it would be a contract issue, pure and
simple, but they are not, so you could make a case that the speed limit
in question is unreasonable (not successfully in any traffic court, but
morally).

But you're not trying to make that case, you're evading responsibility
for what was done with property under your control. Make the case that
the government is interfering with your right to control the property if
you can, or make the case that the speed regulation is not supportable,
but don't evade responsibility.

Just my opinion, stated, as always, in my deferential and mild mannered
style.

(...) Both good and valid points. My point is that it was *possibly* a family member who was driving the vehicle, and I am not required to testify against them. 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)
