Answer 1

THE DRIVER

Answer 2

Simple Answer is the driver.  The good thing is your friend should be able to qualify for traffic school and save the HUGE Insurance rate increase.  However, traffic school has been so easy now you can do it ONLINE, check out http://www.TicketRelief.com.

Answer 3

I'm sure the driver would have to pay for the ticket being in their name, not yours. I'm assuming your friend wasn't listed under your car insurance. If they are not on your insurance your insurance could go up in price just as if you were the one driving and got caught speeding.

Answer 4

the driver gets the ticket

Answer 5

The driver gets tickets related to the operation of the vehicle,whether he's the owner or not.

Answer 8

Any notifications will go to the address on the drivers license of the person driving at the time the ticket was given.

Answer 9

The driver gets charged....of course.  You shouldn't receive any penalties, or anything else for that matter.

Answer 10

Whomever was driving the car when the infraction was committed. In this case, your friend.

Answer 11

The driver was speeding, not you. But if you cannot prove who was driving and they deny it, the ticket will go to your car. If they were pulled over by a cop and not one of those auto-tickets some places have, then you're in the clear.  

Answer 12

Moving violations go on the record of the driver, not the car.

Nothing should get sent to your home, so your parents shouldn't find out, but don't let that friend (or anyone else) drive your car again unless it's an emergency. I'm guessing you live with your folks - otherwise you wouldn't likely be concerned about mail.
