If it is your car, you will be held liable for the ticket unless you can prove that it was not you: the strong presumption is that the owner was the driver unless proven otherwise. Showing it was not you will mean identifying who was driving, and so exposing that person to liability (to getting the ticket)--and exposing yourself to criminal charges for lying in court if do lie to save yourself and that fact is discovered.
