EUR 54 000 fine for speeding? Find out how it is Possible That this amount should not BE exaggerated!

At first glance, one fine estimated at 54 024 euros for speeding about 20 km / h in the area where speed is limited to 80 km / h seems to be not only exaggerated, but gigantic. But if we look carefully at the shape of setting fines in Finland, we realize that things are not so terrible.

Unlike Moldova, the country where the fines imposed for infringement of the road are the same for most citizens in Finland same fines are closely correlated with the percentage of daily income calculated on the income statements for the previous year.

Speeders who violated traffic rules, Reima Kuisla is a businessman who in 2014 had a higher income of 6.5 million. So, a fine of 54,000 euros hardly will bring material damage, taking into account the wealth he has. But for sure it will prompt much more than a typical fine a few hundred euros.

In other words, the Finns believe that if a rich person receives fines of 100-200 times higher than an ordinary citizen to be warned not to repeat the same violations, will be more careful than if they have to pay a few hundred euros. Therefore, the money that gives anyone with an income of several thousand per year are about the same value for him that would be a few tens of times more money for someone who earns millions of euros annually.

True, even for Kuisla tens of thousands of dollars are big money, because you are a man of business the better, the more you care about every penny you earn / lose. But you know what would be good to have this policy amendment in countries around the world, yet it is one or incorrect?
