Just keep digging. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ

Seriously though, did this guy think that, if he argues long enough, they would just give up?

I guess technically we do have system kind of like that, maybe not as strict. Every speeding offence gets demerit points, and I believe if you get 100 in a two year period you get a suspended license for three months. But I did just read that you don't get demerits for speed camera offences, I'm not sure why that is.

Because they don't know who was driving.

If you're pulled over, you have to present your ID, which is recorded on the ticket, a camera ticket just goes to the registered owner of the vehicle.

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I didn't really think about it enough.
