Average ticket is 150 in America, which is pretty close to 135.
So a speeding ticket in Finland likely wouldn’t benefit poor people, but it would hurt rich people more.

I’m in the lower income bracket, and I haven’t had one that low since the 90s. That figure must be skewed by places like Nowhereville where the police are so corrupt that they issue $10 tickets to family members or something, because $150 is not a realistic figure for most people. I bet if we looked into that, we’d find some really creative methodology.
$150? Ain’t no way…

Or you are admittedly a repeat offender, which would likely also increase your fines in Finland.
Heres NY, which I can imagine we ageee isnt Nowhereville.

How much are you (plural) even speeding to have such expensive tickets?
Or do you get a $150+ ticket for driving 70 in a 60 zone?
