The court convicted the defendant of a traffic violation for failing to identify the person who drove the vehicle after being summoned. The defendant argued that local police lacked the authority to impose fines without a court order and claimed the summons forms lacked legal basis. The court rejected these defenses, ruling that the statutory duty to identify the driver applies regardless of the specific authority issuing the notice and that the defendant's failure to comply constituted a conscious omission.
