In the simulator MySummerCar The police are enviably vigilant, and if you exceed the speed limit or make a dangerous maneuver, you will inevitably receive a chain letter. Ignoring the requirements of the law in virtual Finland 1995 leads to serious consequences, including confiscation of your Satsuma and forced walking to the site.
Many newcomers get confused when they receive a notification, since the payment system here is implemented through retro interfaces that imitate the realities of the mid-90s. You will have to interact with bank terminals, postal orders, or even visit the police station in person to pay off the debt.
This article examines in detail all available methods of making payments for traffic violations. We will look at working with terminals OP-Rahastoautomaatti and Kansallis-Osake-Pankki, and we will also explain how to fill out mail forms correctly to avoid double payment or blocking of game progress.
Receiving and analyzing a fine receipt
The first step to resolving the problem is to receive a violation notice. In the game, this happens in two main ways: either a police officer stops you in person and hands you a document, or you find a letter in a mailbox near your house. In the latter case, you need to go to the box and press the interaction button to remove the envelope.
By opening the receipt, you will see detailed information about the offense committed. The type of violation, date, time and, most importantly, the amount of the fine are indicated here. Fine amount may vary depending on the severity of the offense: for speeding it is usually lower than for driving under the influence or having no license plates.
Pay attention to the bottom of the document. This contains payment details, including the recipient's account number and your personal identification number, which is required to complete the transaction. Without this data, payment is not possible, so save the receipt or carefully remember the numbers.
β οΈ Attention: If you lose your receipt, it will be extremely difficult to restore the exact amount and details. Always check your mailbox immediately after being stopped by police, even if you are released without immediate payment.
It is important to understand that the fine does not disappear on its own. The game system keeps track of your debt, and until you deposit money, access to certain functions or further development of the plot may be blocked. In some cases, an unpaid fine will result in police showing up at your home.
Payment via bank terminal OP-Rahastoautomaatti
The most common and convenient way to pay off debt in the game is to use bank terminals. They are located in the bank OP-Rahastoautomaatti, which is located in the city. You will need cash to complete the transaction, so make sure your wallet is full.
Go to the terminal and select the option Maksut (Payments). In the menu that opens, you need to find an item related to paying fines or transferring funds. The terminal interface is designed in the style of old green screens, which adds atmosphere, but requires care when entering data.
- π¦ Select the operation type "Fines" or "Transfers" in the main menu of the terminal.
- π³ Enter the recipient's account number shown on your receipt (usually a long numeric code).
- π In the recipient field, enter "Police" or the appropriate department name if required manually.
- π° Specify the exact amount of the fine and confirm the transaction.
After successfully entering all the data, the terminal will ask for confirmation. The system will debit the money from your account and issue a check confirming payment. It's best to keep this receipt in your inventory as proof in case the game doesn't update your debt status instantly.
βοΈ Payment checklist in the terminal
It is worth noting that terminals may be occupied by other NPCs or have time limits, although this is implemented in a simplified manner in the simulator. The main thing is not to make a mistake in the numbers, since the game does not provide refunds for erroneous transfers.
Using Kansallis-Osake-Pankki terminals
An alternative to the main bank are terminals Kansallis-Osake-Pankki (KOP). The principle of their operation is similar, but the interface and location may differ. These machines also allow you to make payments using the details specified in the fine receipt.
When working with the KOP terminal, it is important to navigate the menu correctly. Players often get confused by the abbreviations of Finnish banks from the 90s. You need to select the option Tilisiirto (Bank Transfer) to manually enter the recipient's details.
Unlike more modern systems, there is no automatic scanning of barcodes, so you will have to manually enter each character of the account number. An error in even one figure will result in the money going to the wrong place and the fine remaining unpaid.
What to do if the terminal does not accept the card?
In MySummerCar, cards as such are not used to pay fines; all transactions are carried out in cash. Make sure you have paper money from selling scrap metal or completing Uncle's quests.
After completing the operation, be sure to wait for the receipt to print. In the game, this item is key evidence of your law-abidingness. If you are stopped 5 minutes after paying, having the receipt in your inventory may prevent you from having to issue a ticket again.
Payment via postal transfer (Postipankki)
For those who prefer classic methods or cannot get to the bank, there is the option of paying via mail. To do this, you will need a postal order form, which can be obtained at the branch Posti or find houses if you have previously purchased them.
Filling out a postal order requires maximum care. You need to rewrite the recipient's details from the fine receipt into the appropriate fields of the form. Pay special attention to the "Viitenumero" (reference number) field, as this is where the police will identify your payment.
The algorithm of actions in the mail is simple:
- Present the completed form and cash to the operator.
- Wait for the operator to complete the transaction.
- Receive the stub of your payment receipt.
This method takes more game time, as it requires a trip to the post office and possible waiting in line. However, it is completely reliable and guarantees that the fine will be paid officially through the government system.
In game time, the delay can be several hours or even days, so do not be surprised if the police remind you of the debt immediately after payment at the post office.
Personal visit to the police station
If you don't trust the machines or have problems with your details, you can visit the police station in person. The police headquarters is located in the city, and you can go there any time the station is open.
Inside you need to go to the window of the duty officer. Select the dialogue related to paying fines and present the receipt you received earlier. The officer will check the database and accept cash payment on the spot.
This method is good because the fine status is updated instantly. You don't have to wait for your bank or post office to process your transaction. Additionally, a personal visit can help reset your wanted level if you're on the run.
β οΈ Attention: Visiting the site is only possible if you are not heavily intoxicated. A drunk player may not be served or even detained, which will create additional problems.
Do not forget to take with you the exact amount or change, although change is usually given in the game. _interaction_ with the police at the station takes place without aggression if you behave calmly and have all the necessary documents with you.
Table of payment methods for fines
Use the following table to quickly compare the available options. It will help you choose the most appropriate method depending on your current situation in the game.
| Payment method | Location | Speed | Required Items |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP terminal | Bank (City) | Instantly | Receipt, Cash |
| KOP terminal | Bank (City) | Instantly | Receipt, Cash |
| Postal transfer | Post Office (City) | Slow (delay) | Form, Receipt, Cash |
| Personal visit | Police station | Instantly | Receipt, Cash |
As can be seen from the table, bank terminals are the fastest and most effective way to solve the problem. Mail is suitable for collectors of game artifacts or situational cases when banks are closed.
Keep all payment receipts in a separate box in the garage. In the event of a game bug or loss of progress, having digital copies (screenshots) or simply the habit of keeping receipts will help restore the course of events.
Consequences of non-payment of fines
Ignoring fines MySummerCar - this is the path to chaos. The police do not forget about violators. If you accumulate too much debt, your actions will move from the category of administrative violations to the category of criminal prosecution.
The first warning sign will be increased traffic stops. They will slow you down at every step, checking your documents. If you cannot pay the fine on the spot, the situation will get worse. Ultimately, the police have the right to confiscate your vehicle.
Confiscation Satsuma means that the car will be taken to the impound lot. To return it, you will have to pay not only the amount of fines, but also the cost of evacuation and storage, which can make a hole in the budget of a novice auto mechanic.
- π Constant stops and document checks by the police.
- π« Blocking the possibility of selling a car.
- π The appearance of police patrols right outside your home.
- πΈ Increase in the amount of debt due to penalties (in some modifications of the game).
In the worst case scenario, if the debt becomes astronomical, the game may simply prevent you from continuing to build or upgrade the car, requiring you to deal with the law first. Therefore, it is better not to accumulate fines.
Paying fines on time is an investment in a quiet gaming life. Itβs cheaper to pay 500 marks up front than to spend hours earning thousands to get your car out of the impound lot.
