Read the links I posted earlier, they briefly touch on this.
or
read this one
If you do not know who drove your car and took reasonable steps to try to find out, nothing will happen. Remember this discussion is not about someone who did speed trying to get out of the fine, it's about an owner of the car who didn't speed and didn't know who was driving the car/had not given anyone permission to. They cannot be charged with speeding (or rather won't be found guilty) unless the police can provide evidence that they were the driver at the time. Prooving it was your car isn't sufficient.
Now if they really were driving, or they knew who was and the police later found out and could prove it, they're in a lot more trouble than if they'd just copped for the speeding ticket. However, again, we're talking about innocent car owners. Or rather, innocent router owners who have no idea that someone else used their connection let alone who it was.
