My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington
This is for Kent, Washington. I received a violation for speeding in a school zone, as caught by a camera posted in the zone. The car is registered in my name, but I was not driving it at the time. A family member was using it to pick up my kids from school and wasn't familiar with the route, or the school zone w/camera. They realized they were in the school zone too late and were braking to slow down (brake lights are on in the photo), but the camera already took the photo before they could slow enough.
Since I was not operating the vehicle at the time, I was going to fill out the Declaration of Non-Responsibility. I'm not sure whether I should Mitigate or Contest the violation. I also don't want to have to appear in court, so wanted to request the hearing by mail. I don't want to have to name my relative, nor do I want to hit them with this big ticket fine ($248!) since they were helping out with the kids.
Any advice for getting this dismissed or reduced would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
