    I don't think they need to prove it was/wasn't you driving.
    $243 is pretty steep for only 6 over.

    Filled out the non responsibility form and sent it in. We'll see how it goes.

    Just cover the camera with a towel and then proceed at Autobahn speeds!

    Just be aware you are absolutely completely perjuring yourself by lying on that form. Perjury is a felony.

    Of course in the real world sure... you'll probably get off, but personally, I'd avoid the perjury and either pay the ticket or appeal based on some other grounds. You are in fact guilty obviously.

    I know in some jurisdictions they can reference the cameras to prove you were at the wheel, aka "yeah dumbass that's obviously a picture of you so stop lying and saying it was your ex-girlfriend who mysteriously disappeared last week", but in most USA places it seems like that's not admissable, oddly. I remember reading some story about how a guy skipped on a bunch of camera tickets claiming that he was out of the country and people were borrowing his car, but then somebody finally "looked at the tape" literally and he was clear as day driving the car every time. But think that was in some foreign country someplace.

    Which isn't to sound like I'm a fan of more enforcement camera technology... Those things BLOW... I'm just sayin'...

    Over here you have to nominate the driver if you say it wasn't you, and they then forward the fine to them.

    I've often wondered why they call it a "Dash Board."

    Any ideas before you click?
