Nobody likes being flashed. In this regard, in case of speeding, the sanction is usually salty, since in all cases it is possible to avoid a fine of at least 90 euros, as well as the removal of the minimum point. And this is even in the case of a very slight exceeding of the limit by less than 20 km/h. And if the government considered the issue of stopping the withdrawal of points for this situation, then nothing has been done yet. Unfortunately for the drivers. Especially since the number of radars will increase dramatically over the next few months, particularly with arrivals new tower cabinsable to verbalize numerous images.

Sometimes it happens that the radar highlights a speeding driver, but he does not receive a traffic ticket! https://t.co/eNzBECUAIE?utm_campaign=post-auto&utm_medium=twitter

Heavy fine

But whatever speeding is and even if it becomes a misdemeanor when it exceeds 50 km/h over the limit, the amount of the fine is limited. It cannot exceed EUR 1,500 for the first time and EUR 3,000 thereafter. But not everywhere like that. There really is a country in Europe where fines have no limits. it’s about Finland, which applies a rather special system of sanctions. For example, speeding over 25 km/h can result in a fine of 100,000 euros. But how is this possible? In fact, the country has a slightly different way of determining the amount of fines.

.

Fine indexed to wages

As the policeman explained to our colleagues from France TV, ” if you have a good job, with a large amount, then the fine is larger. The minimum is 6 euros per fine day. But it can reach thousands of euros“. For example, driving at a speed of 99 km/h on a road with a 50 km/h limit corresponds to 27 days of the penalty. Then the amount changes depending on the salary. A fine day is equal to half a working day, so there is no maximum amount in this Scandinavian country.

An automatic speed camera on the RD 137 in St Sulpice d’Arnoult has been scaring drivers in recent days by flashing as they obeyed the speed limit!
This radar was undergoing maintenance. Therefore, there will be no verbalization. Thanks to the whistleblowers!
