Finland is not part of scandinavia, but the nordic countries that also include Iceland and all the semi independent areas (like Åland , Färöarna and svalbard) It's not automatically more dangerous to navigate roads in the vinter. Rather the opposite, some roads can only be navigated in the winter. We have winter tires, and driving now compact snow is not that diffrent from gravel, actually a bit better. The standard weight limit in Finland was upgrades tp 84 tons like a decade ago. Specially trucks can run 104 tons today You don't need a permit for every wide load. If it's narrower that the set limit, you don't need special permits. Now I'm from Sweden, but I think it's 3.6 meter in Finland if I don't miss remeber.

@@somberyu We do not share a lot of our genome with Norse people. That's something tabloids will print without understanding the genetics behind them. As for your quote from your class, which you should know is obviously information boiled down to utter simplicity in order for children to understand it, it also is another quote that newspapers and tabloids have taken out of context. "Western" refers to western on a Eurasian scale, as in pretty much everything north and west of Kazakhstan. Eastern on the other hand refers to the areas of Mongolia, Siberia, Manchuria etc. Most Uralic peoples are of majority Western Eurasian decent, while very few groups like the Nenets are of majority Eastern Eurasian decent. All Uralics have both admixture categories, though. It's just different proportions. The original proto-Uralic people were most likely majority (55%~) ANE, who are neither eastern or western in a clear sense. Their admixture is found in everyone from Indo-Europeans to Native Americans. The rest would've been a mix of WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer) and EEA (East Eurasian). Finns are mostly made up of these three admixture types. The only big shift that's taken place is that although we still have 20-25% ANE and 5-10% EEA, our WHG portion has grown into the majority due to Uralics mixing with Indo-Iranians in the Volga and Balts in Western Russia / the Baltic. The gentry may have been mostly Swedish speaking by the 1700s and 1800s, but this was a result of cultural assimilation, not of Swedes ruling over Finns. Henrik Gabriel Porthan reported that during the first years of the 1700s, most borghers, clerics and noblemen in the countryside spoke Finnish. This process of swedification began in the dawn years of the 1600s. Prior to that the Finnish nobility was generally bilingual and autonomous with its own Finnish provincial identity. Because they decided to side with Sigismund against the majority of Sweden, they were purged and reorganized.

Two countries are located on the peninsula: Norway and Sweden. True, part of Finland is there, too, but this does not make Finland a Scandinavian country any more than being partially located on the Iberian peninsula makes France an Iberian country. For a geographical term that includes Finland (and part of Russia, like Kola Peninsula) you can use Fennoscandia. This is a geographical term only. Åland is geographically part of Finland. These are islands connected to the Finnish mainland that are rising from the sea due to post glacial rebound effect. Denmark is included in Scandinavia for its close proximity and shared history. Danish, along with Norwegian and Swedish (as well as Icelandic) is a Scandinavian language. Finnish is a Uralic language. This is an entirely different language family. Swedish and Spanish, or Swedish and Russian, are more closely related than Swedish and Finnish are. Finnish culture, though influenced by Scandinavia due to centuries of Swedish occupation, is not Scandinavian but Finnic. The Finnish mythology is completely different from Norse mythology. Nordic, simply meaning “northern”, unrelated to the term Norse, is a political union between countries that share common history and similar political values. Apart from Scandinavia, this includes Iceland and Finland. Iceland has a Scandinavian culture and language, but they are not Scandinavian due to their location.

Outside of these taajama-alue the speed limit is 80kmh unless noted otherwise. 60kmh roads only really exist in cities where the travel distances are relatively long inside these taajama-alue.

Yeah, no. There's not a single Finnish truck on Finnish roads that doesn't have a speed limiter set max 90 kmh. Most companies limit it to 80-85 kmh.

Yeah in the snow time it is lower - nah not really. I can think on the time I drove to north cape by car all on snow in Finland and while driving the speed limit of 80 a truck slowly came near to me from behind (probably going 80 km/h straight as car speedometers are a little bit off). Thought for 10 minutes where I could give him some place (although he did nothing after he was behind me) before he had to take a right and I was back to lonely on long snowy dark roads again.

0:50 Lol, i drive daily through that tunnel to get to my school🤣

As a hockey player, I am interested. Finns are important in the NHL.

When he said Finland was Scandinavian, I died a little inside (because I'm dumb)

In a narrow geographic sense, the Scandinavian countries refer to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. However, in a broader cultural and historical sense, the term also includes Finland and Iceland, which share similar cultural and historical ties with the other Scandinavian countries. While Finland is not located on the Scandinavian Peninsula, it is still often grouped together with the other Scandinavian countries due to its historical and cultural connections to the region.

@@retairmarsh That is not my experience as a scandinavian. The closest Finland gets to be considered a scandinavian country, is them being under swedish rule in the past.

​@@retairmarsh with a narrow view, not even Denmark is include. Pretty much Norway and Sweden.. and a tiny bit of finland Finland is generally never include. It would be nordic

link for the last video? wasnt in the description

1:34 is taken from nokia, that's exactly where my bus stop is crazy.

Finland is a very happy country, bet truckers are enjoying their jobs right now still waiting for Colombia, Day 13 of asking for it to be documented!

i readed some of the comments, and noticed that people were talking about finland not being a baltic country and about the leights and weights, but i didnt see anyone mentioning that the speed limits on all roadways are actually lowered temporarily for the whole time of winter, not just during bad weather

Russia used to be one of the biggest export and import partner countries for Finland but that obviously changed in the last 14 months.
