What happened to speed cameras only giving monetary fines and not affecting your license, since they can't prove who was driving?
A Driving Licence is ultimately a privilege and not a right, at least in the UK / most of Europe in general[1]. So either the registered keeper of the car[2] has to dob in the driver who did the speeding, or face their own consequences for not providing the information.

[2] Slightly odd terminology in the UK to handle the fact that car finance companies (etc) might actually own the car, rather than the person who has it on their drive.

I just got a courtesy notice from the roll-out of these speeding cameras in San Francisco. This after getting 0 speeding tickets in SF for the last 15 years. It's admittedly had a chilling effect on my driving. It's hard for me to drive < 30MPH when there is no traffic. I have to deliberately focus on going that slow. I feel more compelled to take an uber.
