Wrong.

Sorry, Red, but your suggestion is wrong.  Your consitutional right to due process requires that you be given "notice" of any civil or criminal legal action being taken against you.  The burden is on the state/plaintiff to prove you've been given notice.  With photo radar, notice is one of the biggest challenges for municipalities.  Why in the world would you help them out by admitting you got something, when they can't prove you got it?  Regular mail is not sufficient.  If they eventually send a process server to your home, and he/she happens to arrive when you're there, then you can proceed in the manner you've suggested.  Anything less is simply giving the city a "pass" on one of the legal hurdles they're required to clear.

There's 2 ways to approach it.

One is to just ignore the ticket (they can't prove that you ever received the ticket).

The other is more involved.  There are some internet sites that tell you how to attack the radar in court (saying the calibration is off, other cars in photo, etc.).  It involves some work in order to pull this type of defense off though.

Go to the courthouse and tell them serveral people have access to your car and you don't think you were in town that day. Ask if they can double check that you think a mistake has been made. Even if the picture looks perfect, it has worked for me both of the times I have attempted it. It takes about a week to review and there's nothing to loose!

The way to beat the photo ticket is to not answer the complaint, and be careful what mail you accept.  If you acknowledge receiving the ticket, you are forced to defend it.  I got a photo red light ticket, and you would be amazed how that system works.  Apparently, the photo units are usually located where the time delay between yellow and red is the shortest (the time delay is adjustable, and they adjust it to gain revenue!).  A study showed that the best way to cut down on red light running was to increase the time delay.  Go figure!

It won't go away. All cities now after 3 attempts at mailing it to you, will send out a processed server.

Unless the processed server can be avoided in some way, Don't ignore it. It's much easier to just go before the judge and tell him that you believe it is not you. (99%of the time they will dismiss because the phodar is a money maker for those who just mail in their $$ and would rather not go through the hassle of fighting the ticket.)

But then the processed server is sent out, which is what I said in my first post.

Last time I checked, A processed server is sufficient notice that you have received it (Assuming they follow protocall when delivering through processed server). Once you get the processed server notice, You can't ignore it anymore.

Edited to add this:

And thats PINK, not red to you:)! :) :) :)
