Finland Driving
Information
In 2008 there were 344 road deaths in Finland. This
equates to 6.5 road deaths per 100,000 of population and compares to the
UK average of 4.3 road deaths per 100,000 population in 2008. Driving
in Finland during the winter months can be hazardous. Icy road
conditions are common. If driving in Finland, your car must be
winterised and winter/snow tyres (either studded or non-studded) are a
legal requirement from 1 December to 31 March.
The local transport system is good and traffic is light. Drinking
and driving is also a serious offence and you can expect a lengthy
prison sentence. The drink drive limit in Finland is 50 milligrams of
alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood (lower than the UK).
