Dear Traffic Enforcement Processing Unit
Thank you for your commitment to contacting me. Your persistence defied natural laws, and you, perhaps unintentionally, created a bridge.
I acknowledge that I was riding my motorcycle at that time without a helmet. On the night in question, I was returning home with a mob of riders after the Día de los Muertos celebrations at the Rollystone Tavern. A failure to return home before dawn would have put us in limbo.
Wearing a helmet is an important safety consideration, but I feel I have extenuating circumstances. I am unable to wear a helmet at this time because I am without a head.
Thank you for reaching over the bridge.
Sincerely,
Marco (The Loophole) García
RESPONSE TO REPRESENTATION – HELMET INFRINGEMENT NOTICE
Dear Registered Operator,
We refer to your correspondence regarding the above infringement notice.
Your request for withdrawal of the infringement on the basis that the rider was not in possession of a head has been received and assessed.
The information provided does not constitute a valid ground for withdrawal under current road traffic legislation. Riders of motorcycles are required to wear an approved safety helmet at all times while operating a vehicle on a public road. This is a critical safety measure intended to reduce the risk of serious injury or death.
If you believe the infringement has been issued in error, you may request a formal review. Supporting evidence should be provided.
You may elect to have this matter determined by a court of law.
Failure to take action by the due date may result in additional penalties.
Sincerely,
Traffic Enforcement Processing Unit
Dear Traffic Enforcement Processing Unit
Thank you for your belated interest in my safety.
I can attend court on November 2, 2026, which is the next Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos. Please build an ofrenda (an altar), with photos, food, candles, and marigolds to guide my spirit to the courthouse.
If you do not want me to further offend, please find and return my head and helmet to me. I believe it rests somewhere at the bottom of the Canning River.
Thank you for reaching over the bridge.
Sincerely,
Marco (The Loophole) García

RESPONSE TO CORRESPONDENCE – INFRINGEMENT NOTICE REVIEW
Dear Registered Operator,
We refer to your recent correspondence regarding the above infringement notice.
To ensure you have received appropriate consideration, before any further enforcement processes are activated, your correspondence was referred to a non-automated assessor.
Without diminishing the seriousness of not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle on public roads, the assessor determined that, in an exception to statutory requirements, the Traffic Enforcement Processing Unit will not exhume your body. Therefore, the Compliance protocol will not be executed. The reason provided for this assessment was “you’ve got to be fucking joking.’
As a result, it has been determined that no further action will be taken at this time.
Sincerely,
Traffic Enforcement Processing Unit
