The bank's deputy director Mika Ihamuotila was caught last year driving 111 kilometers per hour (69 miles per hour) in a 80-kilometer per hour (50-mile per hour) zone, according to Finnish news agency FNB.


In Finland fines are given according to one's salary and Ihamuotila was originally asked by a local court to pay 54,000 euros, corresponding to 16 days of his salary in 2001, when he received extraordinary income from share sales.


This somehow amuses me.
