The owners will be considered responsible for any remarkable decisions for neglected speed, camera, and stopping infringement summonses, just as any criminal assents for their activities, Fucito said.
“Picture this as practically like a cover, and it’s truly concealing the genuine ownership of the vehicles,” Fucito said. “So what we need to do is discover who the genuine owner of the vehicle is, and afterward consider them answerable for any of the infringement they may have under their vehicle.”
