If so how? Need to declare the driver. I requested picture but you stilll can`t tell whos driving.
....and hello everyone!
RE: Can you get OUT of a speeding fine?
No, you can`t. If there`s a question of identity regarding the driver, and neither party is willing to fess up, then by default the OWNER of the vehicle will receive the points and monetary fine. I seem to remember that if you deliberately refuse to name the driver, then another charge might be thrown in (failing to disclose information pertinent to a crime or something).
Fact is, unless you can prove otherwise, a law has been broken, and the guilty party must come clean. It`s not nice, but it`s the law, sonny-jim

Clarkson did it,
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/08/he-fought-the-law-jeremy-clarkson-gets-out-of-speeding-ticket/
has he done it since cos I seem to remember the story being more recent than that but that`s a few years ago, I just googled clarkson speeding fine
footballers, policeman, barristers have been known to get out of it, I think it all depends on how much money you have, celebrity status, how good your lawyer is and who you know.

Clarkson did itso did a lot of people, 2 years ago. The law was changed about a year ago(citation needed) to prevent people with getting away with such crimes. Too many people were using the `can`t remember who was driving` defence and were indeed getting the cases thrown out.
If the story happened now, Alfa would be liable for the fine, but they`d either sue the arse off Clarkson or never let them test drive an Alfa Romeo on Top Gear again

Or use the publicity to their advantage. ;)
I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

RE: Can you get OUT of a speeding fine?
I`m sure people still argue the toss over this by checking road signs for obstructions and measuring callibration of equipment, etc. It`s a lot of trouble to go to though but I`m sure there must be more specific information on the webs.

The owner of the vehicle doesn't drive (hasn't got a licence) will they just get the fine if they don't know who's driving?
Its overtaking a caravan in a 60 but can't tell who's driving the car :(.
