Yeah, that's what I suspected. My question is if the traffic cameras can be used to put points on a license of a driver, or are only used to fine the owner of the vehicle.

At least in the states I checked the last time I looked into it, things like red light cameras will not put points on your license, even though being caught running a red light by an actual police officer certainly would. If you are driving somebody else's car and a police officer catches you running a red light, you will receive a ticket and points on your license; if a camera catches you then the vehicle owner will receive a fine.



I believe that's correct, though as I don't drive I don't keep up with current practices.
