Finland has a special way of calculating fines


If time is money, his time had better be worth a lot.

A wealthy Finnish man who was ticketed for driving 20 mph over the speed limit has been issued a $129,544 fine for the infraction.

Anders Wiklöf was caught going 82 kph (51 mph) in a 50 kph (31 mph) zone in the Aaland Islands.


Speeding ticket fines are pegged to a driver's income in Finland, based on their daily estimated disposable income.

The democrats would give those people tax credits. So at income tax time, they would need a wheelbarrow to carry all their free money away.
