Ok Finland is not in scandinavia but we’re all nordic countries and it works roughly the same.
We have fully scaling fine. The concept is päiväsakko (literally day fine) that’s determined linearly by your net monthly income. Cops give you X dayfines.
In code terms the formula is max(6, (net_monthly_income - 255)/60));
That means there is regularly some person in newspapers whining about their 30000€ speeding ticket (iirc the highest was 100k€ in 2004). In reality that’s just an acceptable way to brag how much you’re making.
