ive thought about this a lot so im sharing my strategy (I am out of AZ):
you can get the reflective screen on your plate. i see a lot of cars with this, i have never tried it myself, mostly because i thought that *may* be a reason for a cop to pull you over and I didn?t want to risk that, but as I have an open mind, that is a good first defense
second, make sure that the car is in your spouses name. one of the checks the dept of motor vehicles does is try to match the gender. If they cant, they make send it still, but I understand they are much more likely to throw it out
if you get a ticket in the mail, ignore it. they will send a total of 3 and then send it over to a process server, who may or may not serve you at your residence.
If the process server comes, don?t answer the door. Generally, they have to hand it to somebody there. If you avoid them once, they probably wont come back. (They are making like $18 a serve so do the math)
If you get served and have the ticket in your hand (if your smart its addressed to your wife/husband, who wasn?t driving and there is a section that says ?if this picture is not of you, please enter the name and address of the person in the picture driving and you give them some accurate but old address of your spouse)
If its in your name, then you have a choice, a) go with the driving school (if you are eligible) or b)go to court and hope the cop doesn?t show up, don?t know the stats on that
Btw, there is a 4 month limit on the time between the occurrence and being able to enforce the ticket, so if its past 4 months, your in the clear
Drive safe
