Finland: Fines Based on Income

Finland has a unique approach to traffic fines, where penalties are calculated based on the offender’s income. This means that the wealthier an individual is, the higher the fine for traffic violations. This progressive system is designed to ensure that fines are a deterrent for all income levels. High-profile cases have seen some individuals paying exceptionally high fines for speeding, highlighting the country’s commitment to equality and fairness in law enforcement.
