Costly

£75,000 fine for speeding. Bummer.

So 75k worth of cost cuts at Nokia then. I wonder if all those made redundant will have the same surname as the magistrate?

cool !

In Finland there are very few opportunities to move around in the job market. If you get kicked out of Nokia, it doesn't leave a lot of options. I know this from the experiences of a Finnish colleague of mine.

Isn`t it disgusting that for a Crime of Speeding you are fined based on what you earn. I would have thought it should be on a scale to the degree of severity to the 'crime' (soon punishable by the Death Penalty)

He was doing 47mph in a 31mph zone. Obviously a menace to the general public. And he was such a nice bloke when I worked with him years ago, not the hardened criminal the courts in Finland now seem to think he is. Full story here:
