Viennese Whirl

The Great British Bake Off starts again next week.

I wonder if they'll make any Viennese Whirls?

I like Viennese Whirls.
Talking of Austria and bakers...
 
An unfortunate Austrian baker has been caught speeding 42 times since he started a new job.
 
He was travelling home in the middle of the night and didn't see the signs or the camera (which used infra-red rather than a flash).
 
Various news sources had the story - here is the BBC version.
 
He elected to pay the fines.
 
It raises several questions...
  • Do they have infra-red cameras in the UK?
  • Do they not have a points-based system in Austria for motoring offences?
  • Why such a long gap between first offence and him finding out about it?
  • Why would anyone have a 30kph speed limit?
  • Is it possible to drive that slowly in the middle of the night?
  • Why did he point out that his wife did not blame him for the expense?
  • Any other bakers known for speed?
