“There is no money to take such fines every month” – 2024-09-19 21:14:04
Pertti Salovaara received speeding fines.

Pertti Salovaara was fined for speeding today.
Known as a radio personality Pertti Salovaara faced a nasty surprise today when he received fines of almost 1000 euros.
Contacted by Iltalehti, Salovaara says that he was speeding in an overtaking situation in Hämeenkyrö.
– There are many explanations in the world, but I had a remarkably powerful car under me. I came from Rovaniemi and wanted to go home in a hurry, Salovaara opens up the situation.
– In overtaking, I went a little too far.
The speeding occurred in an area where the speed limit was 100 km/h. According to Salovaara, his meter read about 132 km/h at the time of speeding.
The police noticed the overtaking situation and stopped Salovaara to fine him for speeding.
– I honestly told them my guilt and my income exactly, Salovaara admits.
– Stupidity is fined. It’s right that the police are there to catch drivers who endanger traffic. I have nothing bad to say about officialdom. I can only blame myself for this.
He was fined exactly 992 euros.
– Tonni then clicked from there. Well, quite a few business trips went down the drain, Salovaara sighs, but still laughs afterwards.
– In my case, I have to say that I learned my lesson from this job.
He also shared a picture of his fines on Instagram.
– I hardly ever drive over the speed limit, and the one time I do, of course, a police officer pulls up in front of me with his shoulder up. The amount to be paid was €992. In the case of a person from Meikä, it’s a lot, he writes on social media.
Although, according to Salovaara’s own words, he doesn’t often drive too fast, the incident woke him up enough that he plans to pay attention to his driving habits in the future.
– Now I will have a complete overhaul of my driving habits. Firstly, through the fact that it is dangerous in terms of traffic safety.
– Secondly, I don’t have the money to take such fines every month, he admits.

It was expensive for a man of his age to douse a woman – 2024-09-09 10:30:56
The man was not convicted in the district court, but he was found guilty in the court of appeal.

Court of Appeal of Turku. Ismo Pekkarinen
A woman’s first bicycle ride home from work in the spring ended in a fight, in which she injured herself after falling under her own electric bicycle in Turku in May 2022.
The woman said she was surprised when the cycling route turned into a narrow sidewalk. He was then stopped by an elderly man who announced that people over the age of 12 were not allowed to ride bikes on the sidewalk.
Shortly after this, the woman fell against the stairs and onto the door stop. He got stuck under his 27 kg bike and couldn’t get out on his own. He complained of pain when two people who came to the scene helped him out from under the bike.
The woman’s neck snapped and it was difficult for her to turn her head for two or three weeks. In addition, he had pain in his elbow, back and leg.
The bike had an electrical fault and wobbles, and one of the pedals broke. The glasses in the woman’s backpack broke when their case got stuck in the puddle.
The district court refused
The case was later discussed in court, when the prosecutor demanded that the man be sentenced for mild assault. According to the prosecutor and the woman, the man pushed the woman into the street.
The man denied it. He said that he had stopped a cyclist whose driving he described as speedy.
According to the man, after the stop, the woman pushed her bike towards him, causing him to touch the handlebars of the bike.
Suddenly the woman lost her balance and fell. The man considered it possible that the bicycle pedal might have hit the woman’s calf, causing her to fall.
In the opinion of the district court of Varsinais-Suomen, there was doubt about what exactly happened in the incident. The district court dismissed the charge of mild assault.
Stand firm
The prosecutor and the woman appealed the district court’s verdict to the Turku Court of Appeal.
In the court of appeals, the woman found it impossible that she would have fallen from a sturdy crotch position to the ground other than as a result of reaching for her hands.
The supportive standing position was also told by a witness, who also saw the man punch two women in the upper body. The same witness also reported the incident to the emergency center.
Unlike the district court, the court of appeal found the witness’s account reliable. In the district court’s opinion, the credibility of the report had been weakened by the fact that the witness had made his observations while driving a car.
The Court of Appeal of Turku sentenced a man born in 1942 to a 10-day fine for mild assault. The man had to pay 180 euros.
The court ordered the man to compensate the woman 1,000 euros for pain, stiffness and other temporary inconvenience, 480 euros for the repair costs of the bike and its depreciation, and 300 euros for the broken glasses and their case.
In addition, the man had to pay more than 4,800 euros of the woman’s court costs.

A major European city bans renting electric scooters – 2024-09-07 01:49:36
The licenses of companies that rent electric scooters will be canceled from October.

Madrid, the capital of Spain, will ban electric scooter rental services from October. Mayor of Madrid Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida says the city is revoking existing licenses for rental services and will not issue new licenses to other businesses.
The cancellation of the licenses is justified by the fact that the rental services have not been able to limit the movement of electric scooter users or supervise the parking of the boards.
– We are canceling the licenses for electric scooter rental services in our city. They have not followed the conditions we have set to guarantee the safety of pedestrians, says Martínez-Almeida in the statement.
The Madrid City Council has been regulating the electric scooter rental market since May 2023. It has licensed three companies, Lime, Dotti and Tieri, each of which was licensed to rent 2,000 kickboards.
Rental services were required to ensure that customers park their skateboards in designated areas. Scooters may also not be rented near pedestrian streets or historical parks.
The rental companies have not met the requirements, which is why all business licenses are cancelled. Companies have 20 days to appeal the decision. The ban on renting electric scooters comes into force in October.
E-scooter rental services have sparked opposition in cities around the world because many customers don’t follow traffic rules or parking restrictions. Among other things, Paris has previously banned the renting of electric scooters.
