Could this really be true? It’s from wikipedia:
“The most expensive speeding ticket ever given is believed to be the one given to Jussi Salonoja in Helsinki, Finland, in 2003. Salonoja, the 27-year-old heir to a company in the meat-industry, was fined €170,000 for driving 80 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The uncommonly large fine was due to Finnish speeding tickets being relative to the offender’s last known income. Salonoja’s speeding ticket was not the first ticket given in Finland reaching six figures.”

Interesting concept, making the fine proportional to income. Kind of doubt it will catch on…

interesting that many fines in the city here were set almost 100 years ago. They certainly were high fines at the time. In addition parking tickets keep adding interest indefinitely in Baltimore, (until recently they might have fixed that?). There were several people a year or so ago tracked down who owed thousands on interest for a couple minor parking tickets written ages ago.

I’ve often wondered what was the point of speed limits 100 years ago. Like you said, nobody had speedometers and radar hadn’t been invented yet. So how did anyone know if they were going faster than the 5 mph speed limit???
