Nokia chief handed 'largest ever' speeding fine

It's a record, in so many senses of the word...

NEWS One of the top members of Nokia's board has been handed the largest speeding fine in Finnish history. Anssi Vanjoki was fined E116,000 (£70,000) for driving his motorbike at 75kph (46mph) in a 50kph (31mph) area. All fines in Finland are based on how much people earn and in 1999 Vanjoki's earnings were £8.3m.
