True Finland

In Finland, traffic violation fines depend on the driver's income.

The claim that Finland imposes traffic fines based on the driver's income is supported by multiple sources. The World Economic Forum and other reports indicate that Finland uses a 'day fine' system, where fines for speeding and other traffic violations are calculated based on the offender's daily disposable income. There is also a notable case in which a Finnish businessman was fined €121,000 for speeding, demonstrating the application of this system. This evidence strongly corroborates the claim.
