Here in Italy it's quite different. When you are fined using as evidence a speeding camera photo, the owner of the car - whom the fine is sent - can affirm you don't know who was driving when the camera took the photo. Thus no-one will have its driving license points cut, but the car owner has to pay kind of 350 €uro anyway.

Seem to recall Germany has a similar arrangement, where the owner is on the hook, unless they get another driver to own up to the responsibility.
