Superintendent Dennis Pasterstein shows a video of the collision between a car and a streetcar in X.
Director of the traffic control function in Helsinki, Chief Commissioner Dennis Pasterstein published a video from Helsinki’s Mechelininkatu in the message service X. The situation on Friday morning was captured on the police camera.
– Report from the field: the car turned left at the intersection while the traffic lights were flashing. Didn’t avoid a tram that was going straight, resulting in a collision. No injuries. 10 day fine for the car driver.
The post received extensive comments. One X user was interested in how the amount of daily fines is determined in each situation.
To this Pasterstein replied:
– The fine manual gives normal daily fines, the police officer then, within the limits of his discretion, either increases or decreases the days, taking the circumstances into account, among other things.
