  "Your Tax Return is public" That has always been pretty odd to me. Our laws seem to have a decent focus on privacy, but in this case there was a compromise between transparency (perhaps our political history can explain why income is public information). * Random people can find out your telephone number from your car number plate. I met a Finnish girl who got called on her mobile phones while driving... being asked out on a date by the guy driving behind her (not me LoL). They also can find your home address Yes, but you can prevent that from happening by notifying Trafi. * Driving fines are proportional to your income... earn more and your speeding fine is more Not sure why you mention this. Proportional fines make sense if the point of fines is deterrence.
