Not true. At least in DC (and I think this is the case in surrounding jurisdictions), the fine is against the car owner and the car. The ticket is sent to the owner. The owner can sign an affidavit that someone else was driving, or pay the fine. Not paying means the fine shows up next time you try to register. There are no consequences for the ticket other than the fine, however (like a parking ticket), which may save the gov't. That said, if your argument works, what are you going to do about it when they don't let you reregister your car? Claim "sufficiency of service"?

Don't pay and move to a different jurisdiction.
