Mauri Peltokangas, Finns Party MP, is fined 60 days' fines totaling 5,400 euros for gross endangerment of traffic safety after speeding to 135 km/h in an 80 km/h zone in Ylöjärvi last August, YLE writes.

The Pirkanmaa District Court handed down the penalty in August in a written procedure with Peltokangas's consent, according to YLE. The prosecutor argued the conduct could seriously threaten life or health. Peltokangas admitted the act during the pre-trial investigation and in his response to the court, and the matter was processed in a written procedure with his consent.
