That's why I say that I think that the same principle can be (and indeed, IS, in the UK) extended to IP connections, because there is a long-established legal precedent for doing so.

As to the car... Let's say you loan it to someone. You know who is the driver. That person goes out at night and has too many drinks to then get in the car and drive. But the person with the person who has the car had no drinks and drives the car. You have no way of knowing this and when the photo comes back and you can't identify who is driving but all you know is it is not you, you should not get fined.
