Speeding Fines

[andrewducker]

octopoid_horror let me know about the Finnish system of administering speeding fines:
KPH over the speed limit x daily salary.

So if you're 10KPH over the speed limit and earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, then you're in for quite a large fine.

Apparently this is how all reasonable sized fines work in Finland - they're expressed in days of pay.

I'm in favour.

In that case I apologise.

It's fine - heat of the moment, online arguments being full of ambiguity, etc. :->

I opened my email last night, noticed 45 new comments on this thread and decided to go to bed rather than end up angrily erplying to anything. I know what I'm like - I over-read what other people say and then snap at them rather than taking a deep breath. It's a very bad habit of mine :->
