    Angry Red Light Ticket Issued to the Owner, but Somebody Else Was Driving the Car

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California

    Hi, I'm living in North Carolina. Used to live in California and now my mother is driving my car (+ another guy).
    So, this another guy drove it as an uber, got caught from red light camera twice (April, and September). Both tickets were issued under my name simply because I'm registered owner (my mother cosigned the car btw).

    Clearly, the picture was not me, and this 'another guy' asked me to clear this up with 'ticket clinic'. I did for April one, and now asking for second one.

    I seriously think this is fraud, and wrongful action. I have never violated traffic law in my entire life. Why am I getting ticket for what I have not done?

    Instead of calling ticket clinic and ask Attorney to show up at the court & get dismissal of ticket (because it's not me in the photo!), is there anything else I can do? Is there way that I can send mail to the court or whoever authority saying that 'this guy' drove the car instead of me, please issue ticket to 'this guy'?

    I'm tired of being abused by this guy, and really want him to be responsible for this. I don't even want to get involved in this traffic matter.

    Please help me, what should I do?

    thank you so much for reading this.

    by the way, since I'm not even having physical ticket in my hand, is there any way that I can get it to my NC address? in that case, I can take better action on it.

    You will have problems as long as you don't have physical possession of YOUR car.

    Why would you leave a car on the other side of the country for a stranger to use? You are in for a lot more trouble besides a few red light camera tickets. Wait until he has an accident with your car and you get sued.

    Why are you allowing this person to drive your car?...does your insurance company know that this person is driving it as a business car (uber)? Does he have personal insurance that he has proven to you? If not, your issue is much larger than a red light ticket.

    First of all, thanks for your time answering this. All I did was cosigning the car (but somehow my name came up first and registered under my name as well. I thought my mother's name would've been registered as vehicle owner).
    My mother and guy living with, both are definitely insured. Legit driver. They are not stranger to me (We've been living together for 13 years, then I joined the military & moved to other state permanently)

    I know this car is financed still, so I cannot remove/replace my name on the auto loan contract.

    If those red light cam tickets are from a city inside LA County, you can ignore them. Search red light camera no consequence.

    Important note: The advice above is applicable ONLY to red light cam tickets, and then ONLY to those inside LA County, and then ONLY if you completely ignore the ticket.

    If mom and the guy are gonna continue to use the car for Uber and drive into neighborhoods they're not familiar with, they will continue to collect camera tickets (or worse). See if you can find some way to get off the title.
