To be exact, trailers for cars and vans are divided in two categories: O1, maximum total mass 750 kg, brakes not mandatory, no periodical inspections, police can though take plate off and order trailer to be taken to inspection if they don't like the appearance of your trailer. O2 total mass 750-350...

Re: Car insurance: Unbelievably cheap
Isnspired from opening post of this thread, I decided to get a quote from POP-vakuutus. As I'm not greatest fan of poorly executed on-line calculators - POP's calculator might be well above average, but I wanted to avoid even slightest risk of something disturbing my good mood - I gave them an ancie...

So there is no need to do any extra tricks with your LPG vehicle when entering Finland. You just use the gas away and continue with petrol.

Re: Working During The Weekends in My Summer Job
Actually this double wage on sundays is based on Working Hours Act §33 rather than any union agreements. However, under certain circumstances it is possible that trade unions can agree in labour contract that double wage on sundays doesn't have to be paid, which is allowed in §40 of aforementioned a...

Re: advice on getting the car sorted for winter
Make absolutely sure with your UK insurance company that you are covered in Finland. If you damage your car here, it cannot be written off /scrapped in Finland without importing it first (ie paying the tax) - which happened to someone I know driving here on GB plates. So, if it cannot be repaired i...

Re: Where to get hydrogen peroxide
If the situation hasn't changed recently (since 1998, or something), hydrogen peroxide should be available at your local pharmacy. Usually they don't stock products like this in quantity, but I think they can get resupply in 1-2 days. If you need bigger amounts of hydrogen peroxide (or any other che...
