In the UK we’ve had speeding cameras all over the country for 20+ years, they get upgraded tech periodically and the majority of them capture photos and a short video clip of every offense and you get auto emailed a ticket to pay or a court summons if over a certain % over the limit.
It’s the responsibility of the vehicle’s registered keeper to know who was driving their car at any point in time. If the registered keeper genuinely can’t remember who was driving their car and can’t tell from the photos and videos caught by the camera, the registered keeper is who takes the hit for the penalty points / fine
The registered owner does get fined, and in extreme cases like this probably should have their license revoked, but overall I do actually think it’s for the best that an automated system can’t take away your license.
Then take away the car or boot it until the owner goes to court and proves it was not them driving the car. If you can’t prove it you are then the default driver based on ownership. Don’t wanna take the heat don’t loan out your car.
In the UK this map wouldn’t be possible because the drivers responsible would be banned from driving. I feel a lot safer on the streets in the UK as a pedestrian than anywhere in the US.
