It is my understanding that the speed camera takes TWO photographs....one approaching so that the driver is identified and the second so that the vehicle registration is photographed. I'd question the person who received the notice from the courts as I'm sure they included a copy of the photographs taken. If they weren't sent with the summons, I'd be certain that copies are maintained by the court! Also, after a bit of research you'll find the following:

The pictures taken by road-rule enforcement cameras must usually be viewed by a person before any infringement notice or ticket is issued to the driver, and judged to be satisfactory or not.

This step is known as verification, and is a standard legal requirement in nearly all jurisdictions. Verifiers typically must check some or all of the following:

- that there is no sign of interference with the vehicle detector by objects other than the alleged speeding vehicle,

- that the licence plate is unambiguously readable according to a legal standard,

- that the make and model of vehicle matches that recorded by the licensing authority for the number plate,
and in some jurisdictions

- that the appearance of the driver in the images is adequate in some way - for example, that it matches the picture on the driving licence of the vehicle's registered owner.

Not sure what you meant by your statement about how would the 2nd driver stand if wrong driver was identified.If the wrong person was identified, then the person that was falsely accused of this traffic offense has a right to have his day in court. That person should plead not guilty to this charge against him and ask for a trial by jury, which the court will hold at a later date. At the trial, both sides get to present evidence in the case (prosecution to try to convict and defense presenting evidence to try and prove that their client did not speed). If it is proven at trial say that defendant NM(not me) was not driving the vehicle that was speeding but it was a person NC (not charged), the case would dismissed or the jurors would find defendant NM not guilty of speeding.

Theoretically, the state could go back and then prosecute person NC with this offense and bring him to trial on this case.
