(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.

This was reported about 2 years ago (same story revived ????)

Petri

Nope, this happend recently. $30,000-40,000 speeding tickets are not uncommon here ;-)

Petri

I'm no Nokia boss with pockets full of money. I have nothing to fear, hehe.

So all the unemployed folks here should consider moving to Finland?

That's actually a pretty good system, don't you think?

Do you have to take out a loan, or work it off, or what???

Colonel Bogey

Lucky for him the fine is not based on net worth.
