If you're wondering how doing 20 mph over the limit results in a nearly $130,000 ticket, it's because Finland charges speeders in accordance with the person's income. Wiklf is among the country's wealthiest citizens.

Everywhere should do this. And with lots of other types of fines and the like too. Commercial fines too.

Yes, society and laws should reflect that money has different value to people that have different amounts of it.

Would you rather be the guy with the $129,400 traffic fine or would you rather be the dude living in his car?

No, because gas isn't free. This is about speeding tickets, not stealing gas fines.

Should be an hours pay for every 5 miles or something. Up to 20 which should be a days pay cause damn. 2 weeks pay if some asshat does idk 30 over. Have the rich in absolute shambles instead of broke people.

proportional fines for stuff like that is definitely fair. 130k is probably less to that guy than 250 or whatever the normal fine in the states are to a lower income person
