The only way that would be possible is if your ISP handed over the records corresponding to past use of your IP address, and even then you are only personally identifiable if you are the only person using that connection and even then it could not be conclusively proven it was actually you at the controls.
There is a precedent in law : speed cameras take a photo of your license plate number, and the registered owner gets a ticket unless they can prove somebody else was driving. So in fact a law of guilty until proven innocent.
Exactly the situation that is being described above.
