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

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.
