Speeding in Finland can cost a fortune!
Ever since Finland adopted the Argentine tango as its' official dance,I have tried to keep up with current events in Finland.
Here we have a heretofore mild mannered rich guy who
"was recently fined 54,024 euros (about $58,000) for traveling a modest, if illegal, 64 miles per hour in a 50 m.p.h. zone. And no, the 54,024 euros did not turn out to be a typo, or a mistake of any kind."
"Mr. Kuisla is a millionaire, and in Finland the fines for more serious speeding infractions are calculated according to income. The thinking here is that if it stings for the little guy, it should sting for the big guy, too."
