Sweden: Tough on Crime
January 15, 2002 News
A Nokia board member stopped for going 47 mph in a 31 mph zone is fined $103,600. Sweden bases traffic fines on ability to pay as determined by income tax returns. This staggering amount is the equivalent to two weeks pay. I would be very sad to pay two weeks of my salary for a ticket, but we are talking about how to get the attention of a guy who earned more than $2M in income last year. Lesson Learned: Don't admit your income to traffic cops in Sweden.
