What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO
Hi Everyone. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions!
In October my brother was driving my husband's truck and got pulled over for speeding. The officer also gave him a ticket for failure to register the vehicle in his name. He paid the speeding ticket, but plead not guilty to the failure to register. I don't know how he is supposed to fight it though. The truck is not his, it belongs to my husband. It is solely titled in my husband's name with me as TOD. My brother is not on the title anywhere. My brother is listed as a covered driver on our insurance since he lives with us and drives our vehicles, but I don't know how the officer would have gotten that his name should have been on the registration for the truck. Yes, the truck had valid plates/registration on it, belonging to it. The registration is not up until March of this year. Inspection is up to date (inspected last year per MO rules). Insurance is valid and has always been. I'm not sure if it is just up to my brother to deal with this, or if my husband should go to court with him and bring the proof of registration, etc. Any ideas?
