I assume you also have the right to plead "not guilty" but not sure whether the burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt" (criminal) or "preponderance of the evidence" (civil). No way can they who's driving.

I think the burden might actually have been considered "preponderance of the evidence" because there was no points, but IMO if you pay a fine you are facing a criminal penalty so it should be "beyond a reasonable doubt". Of course unless they also get a picture of the driver, or perhaps have witnesses, there is no way they can meet that standard.
