The successful traffic fine roadshow campaign launched by the City’s Traffic Service has helped over 1,400 individuals resolve nearly 6,100 fines and clear 575 administrative marks. These roadshows, held throughout the year, provide an opportunity for drivers to address fines, charges, and warrants without the hassle of visiting multiple locations. The campaign promotes responsible behavior on the roads and has received positive recognition from the Safety and Security Portfolio Committee.
Finland has adopted a unique approach to traffic fines, different from most of the world where wealth often confers immunity against the consequences of one’s actions. The progressive system in Finland ensures that fines reflect an offender’s income, so the punishment fits both the crime and the financial status of the offender.
