I would go with comfort these days - not that I earn much, but the speeding tickets are means tested here :)

Oh right, I've heard about speeding fines in Finland. Apparently, they're tied to one's income, right? I've read that a Nokia executive once had to pay $120,000 or thereabouts in fines after going past the speed limit on his bike. 😱
A friend of mine's dad sold his company the year before (it is based on the previous year income) - got a fine for 320K€ for something like 15 over the speed limit - he ended up paying about 20K of it after going to court.
Jesus Christ... One thing's for sure, if I ever go to Finland, I should never, ever go beyond the speed limit. That's terrifyingly high, though I guess it does help to deter speeding 😐
Yeah - I don't chance it too often.
Ah, but you do take that chance. Very bold 😁
I figure that I don't earn that much anyway ;)
Hopefully those speeding fines are more merciful for us, more ordinary mortals 😆
