Correct answer
The identified driver who drove through the red light.
The driver who committed the offence. Article 82 of Spain’s Traffic Law generally assigns responsibility to the offender and provides exceptions for other situations. Being the vehicle owner or employer does not replace the identified driver in this case. This answer should not be extended to every offence: for example, the law assigns the owner or registered long-term lessee certain responsibilities concerning vehicle documents, inspections and condition.
