In Australia, you can nominate someone else who was driving the vehicle after you receive ticket. But the ticket always goes to the person whose name is under the car registration.
Likewise in the UK. I’m less sure about the efficacy and ethics of speeding fines than many people in this community – not to say they shouldn’t exist, just that I’ve seen plenty unreasonably low restrictions in places where there’s no heightened risk to the public, and that I’m not convinced that motorway/interstate restrictions are useful to the degree they’re enforced – but having the registered owner take the risk if the driver doesn’t own up seems entirely reasonable.
Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article (“the cameras take pictures of a vehicle’s rear license plates”)
Can you ticket a car for driving infractions? How does license plate identity the driver, not just whoever registered the vehicle?

Agree with you. All speeding cameras where I live are on rural highways (110km/h zones), and usually at the bottom of a big hill.
