Red light ticket

[kenham456]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington state. My son, a Sergeant in the Army, just returned from Iraq. I loaned him a car to use temporarily at Ft Lewis Washington. He has received a red light ticket in my car. How do I handle this?
thanks, ken

What do you mean "How do I handle this?"

How?

I imagine I'll receive the citation in the mail. I have never had a ticket and get a discount on insurance for this. I have never had a ticket. I suppose I should have said "does this go on my driving record?" "How do I give evidence that I was not the driver?"

Hi,

You'll probably want to review the actual state law about the traffic cameras that your legislature voted for:

RCW 46.63.170: Automated traffic safety cameras ? Definition. (<i>Effective until July 1, 2011.</i>)

Was the violation for one of the following:

(b) Use of automated traffic safety cameras is restricted to two-arterial intersections, railroad crossings, and school speed zones only.

and is signage present?

(h) All locations where an automated traffic safety camera is used must be clearly marked by placing signs in locations that clearly indicate to a driver that he or she is entering a zone where traffic laws are enforced by an automated traffic safety camera.


If both are OK then you can snitch if you like:


(a) A statement under oath stating the name and known mailing address of the individual driving or renting the vehicle when the infraction occurred

These are like parking tickets:


(2) Infractions detected through the use of automated traffic safety cameras are not part of the registered owner's driving record under RCW 46.52.101 and 46.52.120. Additionally, infractions generated by the use of automated traffic safety cameras under this section shall be processed in the same manner as parking infractions, including for the purposes of RCW 3.50.100, 35.20.220, 46.16A.120, and 46.20.270(3). However, the amount of the fine issued for an infraction generated through the use of an automated traffic safety camera shall not exceed the amount of a fine issued for other parking infractions within the jurisdiction.

Give him a lecture when he gets back home after a while.
