Tärkeimmät muutokset
EU GSR2 Phase 3: Advanced Driver Distraction Warning
Voimaan 7. heinäkuuta 2026
Basic ADAS required
Since July 2024, new cars required ISA, AEB, lane-keeping assistance, and drowsiness detection based on driving patterns
Camera-based distraction monitoring mandatory
All new cars must have Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) with in-cabin camera detecting phone use, eating, or looking away from the road
Virallinen lähde: EU General Safety Regulation 2
Opettajan vinkki
“GSR2 Phase 3 adds camera-based monitoring from July 2026. Your car will detect if you're distracted and issue warnings. Combined with existing ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance), AEB, and lane-keeping systems mandatory since 2024, modern vehicles now have comprehensive safety monitoring.”
Updated Winter Tire Requirements
Voimaan 1. marraskuuta 2026
Winter tires Nov 1 - Mar 31
Winter tires mandatory from November 1 to March 31 with minimum 3mm tread depth
Extended period and stricter standards
Winter tires mandatory November 1 through April 15 with minimum 3mm tread depth; studded tires allowed November 1 to April 15; stricter enforcement on tread depth compliance
Virallinen lähde: Traficom Winter Driving
Opettajan vinkki
“Finland's winter tire season has been extended by two weeks to April 15 to account for late-season ice and snow in northern regions. Always check tread depth before winter - the 3mm minimum is strictly enforced. Studded tires remain popular and are recommended for northern Finland.”
Expanded Alcohol Interlock Program
Voimaan 1. tammikuuta 2026
0.05% BAC limit, income-based fines
Drunk driving penalized with day-fines based on income; license suspension of 1-5 years for aggravated offenses
Mandatory alcohol interlock for more offenders
Alcohol interlock program expanded to cover first-time offenders above 0.08% BAC; mandatory rehabilitation course for all DUI offenders; minimum 1-year license suspension for repeat offenders
Virallinen lähde: Traficom Driving Licenses
Opettajan vinkki
“Finland's DUI penalties are getting tougher. The alcohol interlock program now covers more first-time offenders, not just repeat offenders. If caught above 0.08% BAC, you may need to install a breathalyzer device in your car. All DUI offenders must complete a rehabilitation course.”

Re: Environmental Zone Framework for Cities
Opettajan vinkki
“Finland is joining other EU countries in enabling environmental zones. Helsinki is expected to be first, potentially restricting older diesel vehicles in the city center. Watch for new signage indicating zone boundaries and check your vehicle's emission class before driving into major city centers.”
