If a vehicle is lawfully photographed while committing an offence, who of the following is held responsible for the offense?
- The driver’s employer.
- The driver and the passenger besides him.
- Correct answer: The vehicle’s owner, unless he proves that the vehicle was driven by another person and he identifies this person.
- It is not important. The main thing is to have the fine paid.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle’s owner, unless he proves that the vehicle was driven by another person and he identifies this person.
When a vehicle is lawfully photographed while committing an offence, the camera identifies the vehicle and not the driver, so responsibility falls on the vehicle's owner. The owner can be released from it by proving that another person was driving the vehicle and identifying who that person was. It matters who is responsible for the offence, so it is not correct that the main thing is only to have the fine paid.
