you would think surely that someone would be able to say "obviously this is the dad's responsibility" but no - they are holding his son, the registered vehicle operator - responsible. clearly he bears some blame for not ensuring his dad was doing the right thing, but who would expect that?
the problem is that CityLink is set up very carefully to ensure they don't get short-changed and everyone else has to bend in accordance. there are fairer ways to sort this stuff out but CityLink don't care.
