It will go to your address with your name on it, but you can forward his details to the council or the police and state he was the driver and they then pursue him for the fines.
What if I??

They ultimately fall back on the registered owner if the person denies it.
It's simply easier to transfer registered ownership to him. It doesn't mean anything except who is liable for infringement fees for stationary vehicle and speed camera offences. It doesn't mean that person has legal title to the vehicle.

So are you telling me I can go next door and take there car keys from them to stop them from driving stupidly down my street even though its registered in there name, and not get into trouble!

No. He's saying registered owner is not legal title.

Not correct. The statutory declaration requires the authority to chase the named person. If they deny it, that's between the person you named in the declaration and the authority.

He is not saying any such thing and it is silly to try and draw that conclusion from what he did say.

Correct.You can only fine a person, not a vehicle. Ownership of the vehicle in itself is not what the offending is about.It's about who put the vehicle in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing, at the wrong time. Once you displace the liability from yourself onto someone else.The authorities can't come back to you, because you have done all that is expected of you.

Yep. Apart from confirming that you (the reg owner) wasn't driving at the time, you may be asked for specific proof of time/day/ location that you were NOT in fact driving or able to drive that vehicle when specific offenses happened. Eg: Proof of the reg owner being in Auckland at 2pm Wednesday when the vehicle, was getting speed camera tickets in Hamilton at 2.10pm Wednesday. It will sometimes need to be a consistent record of proof over several events to provide a pattern that fits as you declared.

You don't have to give proof except the offending drivers details.I own a lot of vehicles and I've done this a lot of times, just by writing to the authorities and telling them who was driving.It has never come back on me, and they have never asked me for proof.How can someone ask you to prove you weren't driving a vehicle, that's an absurd thing to ask.It's up to the authorities to prove you were driving the vehicle.

i had to work after school and weekends for my car when i was 15 and i never put a scratch on it. the kids whos parents bought them a car rolled bowled and you know what the cars mummy and daddy gave them. one chick wrote off two cars in just one month. sell the car and tell your son to grow the **** up. when he can afford a car for himself then go for it.
just be thankful he hasnt killed himself or his mates YET

Agreed, I've dealt with this is lot too, and have never heard of anything additional being asked. That's the whole point of a statutory declaration - the penalty for a false declaration is going to be a lot worse than the speeding ticket.
