The person in whose name a vehicle is registered, shall be presumed to be the driver of the vehicle involved in an accident resulting in damage to a vehicle or other object, when the driver fails to stop and render the duties required of drivers under state law. Proof may be made by a copy or facsimile of the registration of the vehicle with the State Highway Department or County Motor Vehicle License Department or any other licensing agency showing the name of the person to whom the license plates were issued. This proof shall constitute prima facie evidence of the fact that the person to whom such certificate of registration was issued was the driver of the automobile. This presumption may be rebutted by competent evidence. (Ord. 14584)
