Features of the traffic regulations in Finland

First of all, all the rules are the same as for us. Except for the ring. The ring has a limited space, therefore the advantage is always transport on the ring.

Do not forget always have dipped headlights and always fastened belts.
As for the belts, I do not understand why people are willing to pay good money for a safety pillow that hits you in the face while colliding, and the already present seat belts ignore that make the airbag as effective as possible.
They keep the passenger in place and only the pillow hits the muzzle, and not the passenger beats about her as well.
And while holding the passenger, helps the pillow to get into the face and protect it, rather than roll your neck.

A bus departing from a stop always has an advantage. Bus drivers can not show a turn signal.

A solid yellow midline line means that overtaking is prohibited.

Fines

Fines are very high, even for a minor violation.
For any speeding within 20 km/h, a fine of € 115 or even deprivation of a driver's license.
In addition, the control is very good, so it's almost a guarantee that you will have to pay.

By the way, it's convenient. All go observing the high-speed mode, no one overtakes, the accident rate decreases.

For the non-fastened seat belt both in the front and rear seats, a fine of € 115.

For using your mobile phone € 50.

  For an incorrect parking penalty € 10-50.
Fine can be handed personally, but more often attached to the car on the windshield.
Payment period - 2 weeks.
If the penalty is not paid on time, a fine of half the fine is charged.
In case of non-payment of a fine and a fine, the case is transferred to a debt collection agency.

If you do not agree, you can appeal to the authority that issued the fine within 2 weeks from the date of receipt of the fine.
If the written fine is found to be unjustified, the money will be returned.

It is not uncommon for a camera to take a case of an incorrect parking in case of an appeal.

Speed ​​limit

In cities and towns - usually 50 km/h,
On most roads - usually 80 km/h,
On motorways - 120 km/h in summer, 100 km/h in winter.

In Russia, an excess of 20 km is permissible. In Finland - 5 km.
So it's reasonable to follow the rules correctly.

In Russia it is customary to inform the oncoming traffic about the presence of traffic police on the road.
In Scandinavia, it is customary to inform the police about a violation of the speed limit on the road.
So with such total control, the radar detector will not save you.

Antiradar

Not even connected - € 120. For a second can be revoked.

Deer and Moose

If a deer has jumped before you, you must go to the deer.
The Finns themselves say that it is cheaper to crash into a deer than into a tree. By the way, you can very much help the registrar.
In addition, all deer in Finland are insured.

C losem clash can be more serious. In the year 4000-5000 collisions with moose occur.
If you have to repair in Finland, it can be expensive or long.

Emergency help

Phone emergency services - 112.
