Default $160,000 Speeding Ticket in Finland

(As reported in the Toronto Globe & Mail)

So, the President of Nokia was caught speeding in Finland. He was driving a motorcycle 75 kmh in a 50 kmh zone.

Fine: $160,000 US Dollars(converted from Finnish currency)

According to article, traffic fines in Finland are based on annual salary.

If this is true, OUCH!!!!

Okay, back to the regular program.
