Most cameras now though are forward facing so take a photo of the driver too. You can’t get out of that!

I don't recall if her ticket(s) showed the front, but I think it would still be a challenge for the courts to prove the ID of the driver.

To be fair, the owner should know who’s driving at that time and they need to be on the insurance.

For sure. This still applies.

But what I'm saying is that let's say you have a single family car for you, your spouse, and two teenagers. If anyone in your family is driving that car and gets an automated speeding ticket, you (the owner of the car) would get the ticket. There's no deterrent effect for the actual driver.

In this sense, being pulled over by an actual police officer is likely to have more of an impact than these cameras. However, good luck generating nearly a fraction of the revenue using street cops. That's where automated cameras really shine.
