12
Mandatory winter tyre period in Finland
Winter tyres must be used from 1 November to 31 March whenever weather or road conditions require (sää tai keli).
13
Permitted usage period for studded tyres (nastarenkaat) in Finland
From 1 November to 31 March, and at any other time of year if weather or road conditions require.
14
Minimum statutory tread depth for winter tyres (M+S, 3PMSF, studded) on passenger cars
3.0 mm across the main grooves. For safe winter traction, 4.0 to 5.0 mm is strongly recommended.
15
Minimum statutory tread depth for summer tyres on passenger cars in Finland
1.6 mm across the main grooves. For wet-grip safety and aquaplaning prevention, at least 4.0 mm is recommended.
16
Aquaplaning (vesiliirto) hazard and driver response
Tyres lose contact with road due to water buildup. Depress the clutch, do not slam brakes, and keep steering straight.
17
Black ice (musta jää) hazard conditions in Finland
Thin transparent ice forming on road surfaces when temperatures hover near 0°C, especially on bridges and near water.
18
Recommended reaction to an impending collision with an elk/moose
Brake hard immediately, duck below the windscreen header if impact is unavoidable, and steer towards the elk's rear.
19
Placement distance for the emergency warning triangle (varoituskolmio) on open roads
At least 100 to 250 metres behind the disabled vehicle on rural roads or motorways to alert fast-moving traffic.
20
Placement distance for the warning triangle in built-up urban areas
At least 50 to 100 metres behind the vehicle, positioned clearly in the lane of obstruction.
21
Obligatory safety equipment kept inside every motor vehicle in Finland
A warning triangle (varoituskolmio). High-visibility reflective vests and first-aid kits are strongly recommended.
22
Correct tire pressure adjustment for cold winter temperatures in Finland
Increase tire pressure by 0.2 bar (20 kPa) in winter, as cold air causes internal tyre pressure to drop.
23
Function of Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) during emergency braking
Prevents wheels from locking up under hard braking, allowing the driver to steer the vehicle while stopping.
24
Function of Electronic Stability Control (ESC / ESP) in modern passenger cars
Applies selective individual wheel braking to counter understeer or oversteer skids, keeping vehicle on path.
25
Effect of speed doubling on the vehicle's kinetic energy and braking distance
Doubling speed quadruples the kinetic energy and quadruples the braking distance ().
26
Average human reaction time for an alert driver
Approximately 1 second, during which a car traveling at 80 km/h travels about 22 metres before braking starts.
27
Yellow continuous line on road surface (sulkuviiva) in Finland
Under the 2020 law, barrier lines are white, but yellow lines prohibit crossing or driving on their left side.
28
White continuous center line (sulkuviiva) under the 2020 Road Traffic Act
Separates traffic flows or lanes; crossing or driving over a solid barrier line is strictly prohibited.
29
Broken hazard warning line with short gaps (varoitusviiva)
Warns of an approaching solid barrier line, sharp crest, or blind curve ahead; overtaking is dangerous.
30
White chevron hatch markings on road surface (suljettu alue)
Channelising island marking where vehicular traffic is strictly forbidden to enter, drive across, or park.
31
Meaning of amber/yellow flashing traffic light at an intersection
Signals caution: the traffic light system is deactivated, and general priority rules (e.g. priority to right) apply.
32
Meaning of solid yellow/amber light preceding red in Finland
Drivers must stop unless they are already so close to the stop line that stopping cannot be done safely.
33
Meaning of red and yellow lights illuminated together
Signals that the light is about to change to green; drivers must prepare to move but must not cross the line yet.
34
Meaning of traffic police officer standing with side turned toward you
Traffic approaching from the officer's flanks has open passage to go straight or turn right.
35
Meaning of traffic police officer with arm raised vertically
All road users from all directions must stop completely (equivalent to a yellow traffic light).
36
Meaning of traffic police officer facing you with both arms outstretched
Traffic approaching the officer's chest or back must stop completely.
37
Use of block heater / engine pre-heater (lohkolämmitin) in Finnish winter
Pre-heating engine at temperatures below +5°C saves fuel, reduces engine wear, and cuts cold-start emissions by up to 50%.
38
Danger of snow buildup on vehicle roof before driving
Snow can slide forward onto windscreen during braking or fly backward onto trailing cars; clearing is legally mandatory.
39
Risk of running air recirculation (sisäkierto) continuously in winter
Causes rapid condensation and ice fogging on all vehicle windows due to trapped passenger breath moisture.
40
Correct technique for recovering from a front-wheel skid (understeer / aliohjautuminen)
Ease off the accelerator gently, straighten the steering wheel slightly until grip is restored, then turn smoothly.
41
Correct technique for recovering from a rear-wheel skid (oversteer / yliohjautuminen)
Steer smoothly in the direction the rear of the car is sliding (countersteer) without slamming on the brakes.
42
Use of cruise control (vakionopeussäädin) on icy or slushy roads
Strictly inadvisable; cruise control can exacerbate sudden wheelspin or aquaplaning skids before the driver reacts.
43
Duty toward large wildlife involved in an accident in Finland
Call the emergency number 112 immediately to notify police and the game rescue unit (SRVA); mark the location.
44
Danger of carbon monoxide when warming up a car in a closed garage
Lethal, odorless carbon monoxide gas accumulates rapidly; warming cars in closed garages is strictly forbidden.
45
Reflective vest (huomioliivi / heijastinliivi) usage upon vehicle breakdown
Drivers should don a high-visibility vest before stepping out of the vehicle onto roadside or motorway shoulders.
46
Correct windscreen wiper fluid mixture for Finnish winter conditions
Use winter-grade fluid rated for at least -20°C to -40°C to prevent nozzles and reservoir from freezing.
47
Meaning of circular sign with blue background showing tire with chains
Snow chains mandatory sign: indicates snow chains must be fitted on drive wheels beyond this point.
48
Meaning of rectangular sign showing snowplough (Aurausalue)
Warns of winter maintenance equipment; drivers must leave ample clearance and not overtake erratically.
49
Effect of roof boxes or roof racks on vehicle stability and fuel consumption
Raises the vehicle's center of gravity and increases aerodynamic drag, raising fuel consumption by 10-15%.
50
Meaning of variable speed limit signs (vaihtuva nopeusrajoitus) on motorways
Electronic signs that dynamically adjust speed limits based on real-time weather, congestion, or winter ice.
51
Parking disc (pysäköintikiekko) rule in timed parking zones in Finland
The disc must indicate the start of parking (rounded to the next half hour) and be placed visibly behind windscreen.
52
Procedure when encountering a reindeer on or near the road
Slow down significantly, honk gently if needed, and expect more reindeer to follow, as they are herd animals.
