In the UK and I assume much of Europe, the registered keeper of the car gets the ticket, they have to identifty the driver. If they refuse to identify the driver then they get a separate punishment which is about the same as the speeding ticket.

UK doesn't even send driver identification letters to keepers of foreign registered vehicles due to jurisdictional issues. They just sell the data to a private company that sends intimidating TV licensing-esque letters (but not actual invoices!) in the hopes of getting paid.

This doesn't work unless the keeper is UK based.
