Katsastus question

What happens if I don't go for the anual inspection during the specified time?

e.g katsatus is from 1.5 - 15.06. But what if i am out of country and can't do it during that time.? What if I go 1-2 months after the dead line? Of course nobody would be drivng the car. it will be just standing.

Re: OY and appartment rent

What's to see there? I have a normal rental contract. Or you mean the company should be mentioned in the contract?

OY and appartment rent

If I am using my rented appartment as my office as well, can part of the be paid by the OY? I think it works with toiminimi at least, what about OY?

Re: When can you be sure to get a voilation ticket from poli

If you enter the intersection before the light is red i.e it is yellow before turning red, you are not breaking any rule.

Re: FOLKSAM Car insurance

If anyone is interested in cheaper options I changed my car insurance from POP to Folksam. That is a saving of almost 50%. I was paying POP a bit more than 300 and now I'll be paying around 160.

I have come to the conclusion that we must compare prices every 2-3 years. Because when I switched to ...

Re: Dog peeing on streets

All dogs should be in a DNA database and anybody not picking the poo should be fined heavily. Our if they can't pay the fine their dog should be taken away from them along with banning them for life to have any pets. If they can take away children f
From their parents then why not dogs?

And yes ...

upper limit of omavastuu for medical expenses

How is it calculated? Is there separate calculation for medical expenses and medicines?

If a person has bought prescription medicines for let's say for 700 euros, does it mean that he'll not need to pay anymore?

Or if a person has paid 700 euros in doctors' fees and other medical procedures ...

Re: YLE - Police

The two main hospitals are not more than 2-3 km from the city centre in Turku. Ambulance should have arrived in less than 5 minutes. It shouldn't be difficult for an ambulance to reach the centre in 10-12 minutes even from the farthest parts of the city.

Re: YLE - Police

More than half of the injured are not kantasuomalaiset. The injured refered as Swede and British are also not ethnic Europeans. One injured lady is off Syrian origin.

I don't know why nobody is talking about the fact that it took more than 15 minutes for the ambulance to reach the victims. How is ...

Re: YLE - Police


People like me prefer free press where the facts are reported immediately. Not the Guardian or BBC version of the news pandering to people like you.

Here are some facts which media is not reporting, international media not at all and Finnish media also very poorly. So, you are right to some ...
