A: Camera tickets appear on your driving record once you pay them, or after you fail to pay them on time. They do not result in points, may not be used as a basis to suspend your license, and may not be used or considered in connection with an insurance company either setting your premium or granting or denying coverage. The registered owner of the vehicle is the one who receives the ticket and on whose license the speed infraction goes; however, if the registered owner wishes to contest the citation on the ground they were not the driver, then they must identify who that person was so that a citation can be mailed to that person.
