The interesting point is really the burden of proof. I was the person who rented the car but we had several drivers. Since we were not stopped by the police at any point, the ticket in hour case is most likely from an automated camera. If I end up getting the ticket in the end, and I was not driving at the moment (as of now I don't know), is it up to me to prove it or can I require the police to prove it was me?
