Maybe /u/mike268 can pop in, but I can imagine that when the officer goes into the computer to write the ticket, if the driver doesn't have a drivers license to scan/enter, you can probably automatically fill the ticket with the registered owner's information. Save the officer some time and risk of entering wrong information.

The automatic ticket machines populate when you scan the code from the driver’s license.

If OP wasn't in the car to hand over their license, how might their license# have gotten on the ticket? Even though it's on the registration, sounds like the officer would've had to have manually changed it from what was scanned, no?
