SPEEDER'S £116,000 FINE
A driver in Finland stopped for driving at 50mph in a 25mph zone has been fined - £116,000.
Billionaire Jussi Salonoja was caught racing through Helsinki. His fine is according to his wealth.
The 27-year-old is heir to a major meat producer and in 2002 he earned approached £5m.
It is not the first time Salonoja's driving has landed him in trouble.
In 2000 he was fined £27,300 for speeding at 125mph on a motorway with a limit of 75mph in his BMW.
Should the fine stand - the case must first be heard before a court - it will beat the record speeding fine of almost £55,000 given to internet millionaire Jaakko Rytsola in 2000.
Wouldn't surprise me to see something like that to catch on over here, another friggin' stealth tax.
Still look on the bright side, it would probably end up with the professional unemployed scroungers and asylum seeker speeders not being fined but being paid by the state
