Gather information: Make sure to obtain a copy of the ticket, including the ticket number, date, time, location, and charges listed.
Contact the car’s owner: As soon as possible, inform the car’s owner about the ticket and provide them with the necessary details. They may need to take responsibility for the ticket and handle the payment or contestation.
Check the ticket carefully: Review the ticket to make sure that the information is correct, such as license plate number, vehicle description, and the driver's information. If you find any discrepancies, contact the issuing authority immediately to have them corrected.
Cooperate with the car owner: Work together with the car's owner to determine who will be responsible for paying the ticket or contesting it. This might involve discussing the situation, reaching an agreement, and ensuring that necessary actions are taken.
Keep proper documentation: Make copies of the ticket and any related correspondence, such as payment receipts, contested forms, or responses from the issuing authority. This documentation may be useful for your records or if you need to provide proof of the situation.
Avoid accumulating more tickets: Be careful not to receive additional tickets while driving the same car. Multiple violations can lead to more serious consequences and make it harder to resolve the situation.
Comply with the ticket's requirements: If the car's owner decides not to take any action or if the ticket becomes your responsibility, make sure to comply with its requirements. This might involve paying the fine, attending a traffic hearing, or taking other necessary steps to resolve the issue.
