Okay, the Finns (and the Germans, who also follow the practice of levvying traffic fines according to income) have this bit right. But when are they just gonna take this guy's licence AWAY?
80km, or 50mph, in a zone designated 25mph - I know places you'd lose your licence for that.

WHAT?!Speeding fines are scaled to income in some European countries?
Let me get this straight. If you are of modest means, it's more acceptable to endanger other citizens than if you are well-off? Unbelievable. Socialism, as it inevitably will, has truly run amok here.

The price of the fine was scaled to his income, in conformity with Finnish law on traffic violations.Imagine if they did that here. The state of Washington would have a satellite tracking Bill Gates to hit him for a billion dollars a whack.
