If you arrived in Finland by car, of course you would not hurt to know the rules of the Road of Finland. It seems to be all the same, but there are nuances. For example, Finns rather rarely violate the rules, and serious violations are generally uncommon. Of course, there is not Japan and not England and the movement of right-sided, like us, but will be not bad if you know about small differences that exist. First, you yourself will be more comfortable, secondly, it will be more comfortable to be neat Finns, well, and finally, you will not have conflicts with the police. In general, the conflicts with the police in Finland are rare, but nevertheless ...

What are these nuances? It is clear that our rights act in Finland, as the rules are almost the same. If you fulfill them, there will be no problems, but be careful to small differences. What is different in the rules of the Road of Finland and Russia? This, for example, the rules of movement on the arrow at the traffic light; priority rules when driving when circular motion; Of course, these are parking rules - wherever you go to the store or fishing or somewhere else - you will come across this problem; The speed mode of movement in both the city and the city is also distinguished. We will tell you about all the nuances to feel in Finland as home and not violate the rules. Finland is not Russia, and fines here are serious and they have to pay them, especially since non-payment of the fine may affect the visa regime.

We decided to start with speed limit, because this is the first thing you come across, as soon as you cross the border - you need to go with the right speed. Exceeds in Finland are punishable very rigidly. No less rigid than our departure to the oncoming lane, and even more serious. So the high-speed mode in Finland:

What happens if you still exceed? In general, the size of the fine in Finland depends on the size of the salary, the presence of dependentings in the family of the violator (children, for example). In general, with a salary of 2000 euros and an exceeding 25 km / h, you can get a penalty of something 300-400 Euro ... The minimum fine (for unemployed and tourists) is about 120 euros. It is better to pay, if you got. In contrast to the penalty for parking, this is a fine - a fine of the "federal" value. Exceeding speed is considered a criminal offense in Finland and such a fine is definitely not lost and can continue to affect the visa regime. For example, you will not pay or systematically violate - will refuse to receive a visa. By the way, exceeding more than 30 km / h can end the trial.

What is considered to be an exception? It depends on who you caught. If on camera, then there is a stock of about 20 km / h. But it is better not to risk. If you take pictures on the camera - you will see a yellow outbreak that you can spoil your mood on the trip ... If you are caught on the Radar police (which by the way sometimes go on civilians), then there is no exceeding limit - within the speedometer error. Be careful! The police themselves are not often caught, but systematically. Finnish police officers are mostly impartial, but to our tourists often belong to suspicion, knowing our manner ride. It is useless to argue with the police. Automatic cameras are sometimes photographed in warning mode. So if you are sure that they did not exceed and photographed you, do not worry - can get a warning: "You drove 83 km / h when 80" and no fines are allowed!

So follow the rules. Especially carefully in the city where there are many cyclists in addition to pedestrians! They usually skip them. They know about it and do not care if you know it!

And here is our transfer of speed limitations in Finland:

So good luck on the roads. Follow the rules and everything will be fine.

If you want your travels to Finland by car exclusively positive emotions, it is necessary, including to follow the rules of the Road of Finland. For the strict compliance of traffic rules will save you, for example, from unexpected communication with the road police, unexpected issues and misunderstandings at customs or, worse, refusal to issue a Schengen visa when considering the Consulate of Finland's next application for a visa.

In Finland, excellent roads and very calm, measuring and comfortable movement. In addition, the roads between cities and settlements are pretty free and there are often cases when you go completely alone. Especially in the evening or night. And no, no yes, and temptation arises a little bit, for example, a gas pedal ...

But no. I advise you to keep yourself in your hands and do not succumb. In addition, in principle, it is necessary to violate the rules of anywhere, the amounts of fines in Finland are seriously different from Russian and can significantly sweat your vacation budget.

The rules of the Road of Finland and the basic requirements that must be observed when traveling to Finland, I will give below.

The use of antiradar is categorically prohibited.

Even before the trip and intersection of the Finnish border, disconnect, remove from the car and hide where the antiradar is left. This is a fairly widespread device in the native homeland, in Finland, it is categorically prohibited for existence as a class and has no right to lie even in a gluke or in the trunk as a luggage subject.

They will find - take away forever, and in return you will get a fine. According to the reviews of some poor, for the right to take and give the Finnish Customs of the Antiradar, they contributed to the Finnish budget from 80 to 120 euros. If you believe the data specified on the Finnish police website, currently a fine for anti-grade is at least 120 euros. In addition, the police use the determinants of antiradar and, in order to detect this prohibited device, has the right to make not only the search for your car, but also directly your personal inspection.

Speed \u200b\u200blimits on Finland roads

Movement in Finland Right-sided, restriction maximum speed on the motorway up to 120km / h.

Limiting the maximum speed in settlements and cities - 50km / h. In some areas you can meet the speed limit and up to 30-40km / h. In the settlement, the limitation of the maximum speed 50km / h is mandatory.

After the sign that cancels the action of the sign "Located", in case there are no other speed limits, the maximum allowed speed is 80km / hour.

But in fact, there are many signs that show allowed permissible speed, therefore just be more attentive.

Also remember that in Finland there are summer and winter high-speed modes (for example, on high-speed highways in winter The permitted speed is reduced from 120km / h to 100km / h and from 100km / hour to 80km / hour).

Speed \u200b\u200bcontrol on the roads of Finland

Speed \u200b\u200bcontrol is carried out, including using automatic stationary road complexes of video phixations, which are about a thousand pieces on the Finnish road network. Video phixation complexes covered about 3350 kilometers of the road network.

Considering that asphant for 2019, the overall length of asphalt roads in Finland is about 51000km, it turns out that the speed control is carried out on less than 7% of the road network. In this regard, according to information on the Police site (Poliisi.fi) of Finland, in the coming years it is planned to a significant increase in the number and length of control zones.

The zone of video monitoring and automatic fixation of the impaired speed mode is indicated by such road signs:

In 2017, 289,000 high-speed violations were recorded on the roads of our northern neighbor and 9 out of 10 fines were superimposed according to data recorded precisely by the road complexes of video phixations.

The average amount of the fine in 2017 amounted to 172.50 euros.

What data are fixed by the road chamber in Finland

The violation of the video confixation is transmitted over a wireless communication channel. Your car is recorded in the photo, its state register sign and driver data. The snapshot is processed in such a way that the passenger sitting next to the driver is closed by a special filter.

In addition to the road complexes of video phixation and police (the police are completely without hiding the speed) on the roads of Finland, they run no remarkable machines without identifying signs in which no noteworthy employees are sitting by the same police. So if you suddenly served the native spirit of the drive, and you will not be enough for you to attach the machine with Finnish numbers, it is very possible that this is not a "brother-hot-Finnish-guy", but a harsh minister of law.

The road police control the high-speed mode on the main roads. In the settlements, this feature is mainly entrusted to the local police.

Excess speed in Finland

When fixing the speed, a discount in 3km / h is always made (that is, they are taken away from the speed recorded by the radar, as it is given a discount on the possible error of the device). What you get, a warning or a fine, also depends on what section of the limit of the speed regime has occurred.

Also remember that since October 2016, the threshold of the permissible exceeding the speed mode was reduced. When a permitted permissible speed is exceeded by 1-6km / h, a warning is made. Exceeding the high-speed mode on a 7 km / hour entails a penalty for a fine.

For example:

• if you are driven at a speed of 69 km / h in the speed limit zone 60 km / hthen the speed value will be 66km / hour, the speed exceeds 6 km / h and you will receive a warning
• if you are driven at a speed of 70 km / h in the speed limit zone 60 km / h, then the speed value will be 67km / hour, the speed exceeds 7 km / h and you will get a fine

The size of the fine for violation of the speed mode in Finland

The structures of fines in Finland also differs from the Russian. There is a so-called fixed fine Rikesakko.. This is a cash finability in a fixed amount (in euros) for various offenses. Depending on the violation, its size ranges from 20 euros to 200 euros.

In case of violation of the speed regime, a fixed fine Rikesakko. It is used only for disorders not exceeding 20km / hour.

Example of fixed fines:

• Violations associated with car documents - Fine 40 euros
• Faulty equipment, improper technical condition Vehicle - penalty 70 euros
• If the driver or passengers are not fastened by seat belts - fine 70 euros
• Excess speed in the zone with a speed limit of 60 km / h or less:
• Excess speed limit up to 15 km / h - penalty 170 euros
• Excess speed in the zone with a speed limit of over 60 km / h:
• Excess speed limit up to 15 km / h - penalty 140 euros
• Excess speed limit more than 15 km / h, but not more than 20 km / h - fine 200 euros
• Excess speed of 15 km / h (for a moped driver) - 100 Euro

A fixed penalty for a pedestrian for violation of the rules of the road is 20 euros.

If a fixed fine is charged for two or more violations at the same time, payable amount is the amount of a fixed fine for the most serious violation, increased by 40 euros.

With serious violations for the citizens of Finland, when calculating a fine, a monthly income is taken into account, the number of dependents on the content and the size of the fine increases very significantly. Calculate the fine can be calculated on the official website of the Finnish police.

In April 2013, the Minister for ambient Ville Niistinia (a member of the Finnish Parliament from the Green Union party) received a major penalty for speeding. Niistinje reports that he was driving at a speed of 139 km / h on a section of the road, where you can ride at a speed of 100 km / h. The incident occurred in the town of Paymyo on the Helsinki Turku highway. Police prescribed Niistinia fine in size 1566 Euro.
As it was also reported: "Niistinieu regrets what happened ..." (source Yle.fi)

A clear case, the salary of Mr. Minister, apparently, is quite good, which was the reason for the above amount. But there is another nuance - fined the minister, which once again confirms us the fair primacy of the law and privileges.

Penalties for speeding for citizens of Russia

Unfortunately, there is an opinion that problems with the velocity should be worried exclusively in the residents of Finland. In this regard, I inform you that from May 2, 2012, police automatic photographs that control the speed of the roads on the roads of Finland began to photograph and foreign cars, whose drivers apparently, on some kind of their own, purely internal beliefs exceed the high-speed mode.

Further, the information from the photo frames is transferred to the border service and the management of customs, and therefore the penalties will be applied to Russian, in particular, the violators of the high-speed regime in Finland, at the point of intersection of the Eastern Border.

The penalty will kindly addate a border guard based on a police request for official assistance.

In addition, if you got a fine in Finland and did not pay it, then this fact Can be appropriately taken into account by the staff of the Consulate of Finland, which will consider your (future) application for a Schengen Visa of Finland. According to statistics, the order of half of the failures in the subsequent receipt of the Schengen visa is related to the applicant's row rules PDD (of which the main is the speed of speed and overtaking in the wrong place)

Safe movement in tunnels

When moving in tunnels, the following rules should be followed:

1. When moving in the tunnel, low headlights must be included. It is necessary to observe the distance, especially if the speed of the transport stream slows down.

2. If suddenly the car engine is stalled, then you need to turn on the "emergency" and try to move the car into an emergency or technical pocket (or to the edge of the carriageway) so as not to interfere with the movement of transport. If necessary, you need to call the rescue service or the technical service on the emergency telephone, which are always installed in the tunnels.

Remember that in the tunnels are forbidden and movement reverse. Also prohibited the operation of the engine in the "idle" mode.

Seat belts

In cities and towns always skip pedestrianswhich or are already on a pedestrian crossing or just going to stand on it. Finns are always in complete confidence that approaching a pedestrian crossing, you have already reduced the speed in advance and skip them out of any doubt. The same applies to cyclists. Skip these tamers of two-wheeled Mustangs. Of course, we give the way to the other when turning to the left or right, including cyclists moving with you in the passing direction.

if you move at a speed of 60km / h (or less), always skip bus moving off

It is impossible to leave the movement strip, intended for public transport. You can take it only before mauling (turn). Sign indicating the highlighted band:

The use of a cell phone during movement is prohibited. Only through the headset "Hands-Free".

Do not try to "negotiate within the reasonable limits" with the police. If the latter does not make a discount on the Russian mentality, then it is quite likely to initiate a criminal case, which ends with a large fine (according to the law it is also possible to deprive the freedom to 2 years).

I think you should not make an individual point, but still: Before you travel, check the availability of rights, registration documents for the machine, power of attorney (if necessary), "green card" (Green Card).
