    Default Right Turn on Red Light, Caught on Camera

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

    Ok, so yesterday I received a notice of citation(or violation) for making a right turn on a red light, caught by a traffic camera. The thing is, the car I was driving was registered in both my father's and my name. The citation was actually addresed to my Dad, though I was the one driving and Im the one in the picture.

    I've been looking all day for any reason I can to contest the ticket, I'm wondering though, since the citation was issued to my father, if he could just fill in the affadavit on the back saying that he was not the one driving the car and mail that back, maybe with a copy of his drivers license. Will this get the citation dismissed? Thanks in advance

    I'm not asking for help in breaking the law, the ticket was issued to my father, who was not driving the vehicle. Actually, what I was wondering was, if my Dad fills out the affadavit saying he wasn't the driver, as he wasn't, will the citation be re-issued to me since I am also a registered owner of the vehicle?

    Our ability to predict the future, alas, is imperfect. Try it and see.

    When you mail back, you should inform them that you were the one driving the vehicle, and not the person whos name appeared on your ticket, which is your dad.

    It's an option, there should be a line for it. Read the entire letter.. again, and thorougly this time.
