Possibly stupid question about ANPR

[Johnnytheboy]

I was driving past one of those ANPR gantries somewhere yesterday and it occurred to me that I didn't know the answer to this:

If something (no tax/MOT/insurance) is detected by a fixed ANPR camera, is a fine automatically sent to the registered keeper, or does the registered keeper have to identify who was driving at the time, in the same manner as a speed camera would?

In other words, is the driver or the keeper considered at fault?

I assume the driver.

Huh? You reckon you can drive without tax / MOT / insurance as long as it's not your car?

The owner of a vehicle is responsible for keeping it road legal ie. having insurance, tax and MOT if applicable.

If you are driving somebody else's car then you are responsible for having insurance cover in place which covers you to drive it. That is a different matter altogether.

You've got to the nub of my reason for posting.

Is the offence not taxing your car/not having an MOT, or is it driving it without tax/MOT?
