You need to nurture that talent by making something fun in between.
Or you might get tired of everything and start exploring knitting patterns instead.

Sydney motorcyclist caught sppeding[^]
So they checked his helmet mounted dash cam ... and added extra offences.
Fines total: AU$75,000.
That's US$54,000, or £40,000.
Might have to save up for a while to pay that one ...

I saw a warning in the press here some while ago warning drivers that police can and will examine dashcams to check for offences.

You do kinda expect it - or I would. But leaving 41 other offences on there for a £40K fine is ... dumb.
You have to wonder what that is going to do to his insurance premium for a few decades as well!

If he can't afford the fine(s) he's getting, being able to afford his insurance premium should be the last of his worries.
And I don't have much sympathy for anyone in that situation.

The article did say $75000 was the total of the combined fines and that he most likely will get a much lower one.

It's the "1 x Breach Public Health Order" that has me worried / confused ... what was he doing?

It's Australia - probably wasn't wearing a face diaper.

So the key is to swap memory cards on a daily basis and clear them before reusing them. Got it. I do have a question about self-incrimination though. Does this apply in Australia?

You might want to delete this comment. If you ever do get pulled over with a dash cam and freshly blanked memory cards it'll be treated as your confessing to destruction of evidence.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

23yo learner, he is a bit slow as most of us got our licences at 17! The health order was probably for breaking lockdown rules as NSW has had some really draconian restrictions.

At that price, I'd prolly add some extra expense/offense too.

If this happened to me in the USA, I would invoke the Fifth Amendment: The amendment in the Constitution that protects you against self-incrimination. That should work, should it not?

I dunno - but I doubt it. Wouldn't it be classed the same a you being stopped for running a stop sign, and the officer noticing a bong on the passenger seat?
