The system of fines for violation of traffic rules in Finland differs significantly from the Russian, especially if it concerns non-compliance with the speed regime. Finalies in Finland depend on your income and can noticeably hit the wallet. It is important to pay for fines on time to avoid problems with obtaining a visa to Finland in the future.

Penalties for violation of the speed

The size of a fixed recovery grows up to 200 euros at an exception to 16 to 20 km / h.

On the Police site there is a special counter (Sakkolaskuri). The traffic police at the design of the fine takes into account several factors: the net income of the violator after paying all taxes, the number of dependents, etc. For speed exceeding, they can also pick up rights and even arrest. For example, in Finland, the driver can lose right if it exceeded the speed for a year three times.

Having written the receipt, the policeman can give it personally in hand or put under the janitor.

On the territory of the mainland Finland, the following restrictions operate (they differ in the Aland Islands):
