If the system were to send the ticket just to me, I'd discard it. But I'm worried about Avis paying it without my consent then coming after me to foot the bill after the fact.
I will see if there's a way to track down the ticket somehow and have it routed to me instead of Avis so I can deal it with appropriately.
Avis has your consent. Unless you signed a non-standard contract, you agreed that Avis can pay any ticket issued by a govt. agency as well as the admin. fee associated with it.
Whether the local govt. could or would pursue the ticket in court has nothing to do with what you agreed Avis could do.
