I was issued a red light ticket, but I was not driving the car at the time of the violation?

The statute makes a presumption that the registered owner of the vehicle was the driver of the car. If you were not the driver of the car, you have the option of filling out an affidavit provided with your Notice of Violation to swear under oath who was driving the car. If you do not fill out the affidavit, you will be the person who answers for the violation. 

Ultimately, the statute does not require the City to prove who was actually driving the car.
