Where i am from the ticket is issued to the vehicle owner, doesn't matter who was driving. On the plus side it means that you can get a photoradar ticket for driving 300km/h and not lose your licence, just pay the fine.

P.S. If the driver must be recognized does it mean that motorcyclists are exempt from photoradar fines?

I thought that motorcycles already didn't really show up on the photoradar scanners. That's the way it is here, but I can totally see that being a jurisdiction by jurisdiction thing.

  • Here it is easier to avoid getting a photo with motorcycle because there are places where it targets front plate. If photoradar targets back plate then you will get a ticket for a motorcycle just like any car.

  • It really depends. The newer traffic control bridges we have on our highways take a picture from both the front and back.

At least here in Finland, the cameras take pictures of speeding motorcycles, but they are not used. No front license plate.
