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

I received a notice of violation in the mail. It's a real ticket, I checked. The photo shows a female driver resembles my wife, the ticket was issued to me since I'm the registered owner.

I know that the ticket would be dismissed since I'm a male with no hair and the photo shows a female with glasses.

I know that I don't have to identify the driver. But will they re-issue the ticket to some female resembles the one in the photo who lives at the same address as mine? and if they do, what should the next step be to avoid the fine? it's $446 and would be well over $500 with traffic school.

I can ask for extensions and delay it as long as I can, but then what?

Please advice, this is the first time I ever got this kind of ticket.

Thank you all.
