Really can't make stuff this up. But they did.

You need to get a life.

If it were that easy to get a letter to say you weren't driving the vehicle, i'm sure a lot of people would try to beat it. I'm sure they get thousands of letters disputing the citation, all valid, all sworn.

I know 3 people who tried it, and lost. Good luck. I've gotten a few, who cares, slow the eff down in school zones, it doesn't go on your insurance.

Well, one does not physically have to "appear in court ". Just by doing with MD Law says:
TITLE 21 - VEHICLE LAWS - RULES OF THE ROAD
Subtitle 8 - Speed Restrictions
Section 21-809 - Citations based on speed monitoring systems.

(3) To satisfy the evidentiary burden under paragraph (1)(ii) of this subsection, the person named in the citation shall provide to the District Court a letter, sworn to or affirmed by the person and mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, that:
(i) States that the person named in the citation was not operating the vehicle at the time of the violation; and
(ii) Includes any other corroborating evidence.

I have done it and never had to appear in court. One is just contesting via USPS by certified mail, return receipt requested. If, I am guessing, that the court, or whomever reads your letter, doesn't believe it, then a court date may be set. But I doubt it. The court system would be overloaded.

So where was that?

I've got a life. As it was, someone was driving one of my cars. I wrote the letter, denying driving said vehicle, and I DID NOT reveal who was driving. Never heard from them again. I fight "government" till I win or lose. Maybe if everyone did the same, those f*ck faces in government would stop harassing we the people and nickle and dimeing us.

Where was what?

The county/city where you just wrote them a letter and they never came back looking for money... There was a short time period in I think PG where they had a loophole, since closed where that might have worked, but that was I three or more years ago.
