Thanks Vindalbakken, that makes sense. Indeed, I have never witnessed a truck moving without a driver. Actually I have, but not for long, and it resulted in one dead vehicle.

So I'm being charged as the owner of the vehicle and not the driver. But this is equally sticky to me; I own the vehicle, but isn't whomever is driving it responsible for what it does? A truck can't get a ticket on its own obviously, so there had to be someone driving it. This is a bit like saying that because you own property all criminal acts committed on your property are your fault. In some cases the law does read like that as I understand it (grow ops for example), but not in many other cases. Which puts us right back where we started from, no? Better to have this discussion here than with my wife, as great as she is.
