    Most states don’t apply points for camera fines because the camera cannot identify who was driving. The laws are different vs fines issued by police.

      In the UK, they write to the registered keeper of the vehicle to ask who was driving.

      If the keeper doesn’t respond or doesn’t know who was driving then they get the fine and points themselves.

        That seems reasonable.

        You could also theoretically have a system that confiscated a car once it has accumulated X points, no matter who was driving. I bet you’d be careful to whom you lend your car, and would teach your teens strictly!
