So it becomes a civil matter between the state and the vehicle I assume? Registered owner automatically becomes the liable party?

- throw0101a 6y agoYes (same in Ontario, Canada generally). The owner gets the civil fine, but there are no demerit points put on anyone's license. If one is pulled over for speeding (or anything else), then the officer can identify the driver and they get points as well. I think points are used as an (dis)incentive for people who would be otherwise be willing to just cut a cheque. Too many points and you start getting insurance problems. * https://www.ontario.ca/page/understanding-demerit-points https://www.ontario.ca/page/understanding-demerit-points Seems to be somewhat common in a few jurisdictions: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_system_(driving) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_system_(driving)
