A Finnish man got a $60,000 speeding ticket — and that’s exactly what it should be
The BBC reports that when businessman Reima Kuisla was pulled over for going 64 mph in a 50-mph zone in Finland, he was tagged with a 54,000-euro fine, or just short of $60,000.
Kuisla then wrote an all-caps Facebook post that, according to the BBC, roughly reads:
“TEN YEARS AGO I WOULDN’T HAVE BELIEVED THAT I WOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER MOVING ABROAD. FINLAND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE IN FOR CERTAIN KINDS OF PEOPLE.He’s referring to rich people and Finland’s progressive criminal code — and the U.S. should be taking notes.
