Overview
- Anders Wiklöf, 79, was clocked at 59 km/h in a 30 km/h zone in Mariehamn on the autonomous Åland islands while driving a Bentley.
- Authorities set the penalty at €120,000 under Finland’s income-based system for a 29 km/h excess.
- Wiklöf told the local paper Nya Åland that he would not contest the sanction and said he accepts the mistake.
- Under the day-fine method, officials calculate a daily amount from net monthly income after a €255 deduction, divide by 30 and halve it, then apply a set number of days tied to the offense.
- Coverage notes he has previously paid roughly €400,000 for speeding, and French outlets contrast this with France’s fixed €135 fine and a two-point license loss for a similar overage.
