My mother-in-law's sister borrowed my father-in-law's car when she was
visiting them in the Phoenix, AZ area. Said sister ran a red light.
FIL got the ticket & photo. He went to court and showed that it
definitely wasn't *him* behind the wheel. They determined from him that
the driver wasn't from AZ (she lives in Ft. Worth, TX), and he didn't
have her address or phone number handy for them to be able to contact
*her* easily, and the ticket got dismissed. He was warned to be careful
whom he lent his car to in the future.
