IIRC, the guy in the van or the person reviewing the ticket before making is the signature at the bottom that counts as the “server”.
If you don’t pay, then they hand it over to collections.
Then you get to deal with those people.
About the only “easy” way out is if the picture of you is fuzzy or your DL pic has little resemblence to you now, etc.
The mailman that sits in the van? My understanding (and I’ll admit, I was listening to talk radio) was that it must be delivered in person to you, not mailed. Which makes sense, mail can get lost. I’ve never gotten one, so my advice is call the county clerk and ask. Several callers did this and were told it’s not enforceable. And yes, it was mentioned that you can claim it wasn’t you driving as well.
None of this helps the OP though.
