Some lines only run on weekdays, with no or few departures on weekends and public holidays. You will encounter people of all ages and experience behind the wheel, which means some of them will drive excessively slow, well below speed limits, lowering their speed well in advance of a turn, and perhaps even driving insecurely. </p><p>A vehicle unique for Sweden is the <b>A-traktor</b> (also known as <i>epatraktor</i>). It is a rebuilt (old) car where the transmission is locked, so the maximum speed is 30 km/h. An A-traktor can be legally driven from the age of 15. The vehicle has a large red triangular warning sign on the rear end, and must give way to other traffic by driving on the shoulder of the road when necessary. The A-traktor is common in the countryside. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legal_requirements">Legal requirements</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG/220px-Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG/330px-Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG/440px-Studded_tires_prohibited.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3200" data-file-height="2400" /></a><figcaption>Studded winter tires, while perfectly legal in winter elsewhere, are prohibited on some streets in <a href="/wiki/Stockholm" title="Stockholm">Stockholm</a>, <a href="/wiki/Uppsala" title="Uppsala">Uppsala</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gothenburg" title="Gothenburg">Gothenburg</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>All motor vehicles in Sweden must have their headlights on, even at daytime. Modern Swedish-sold cars always have the lights turned on automatically (unless you actively turn it off), so if you rent a car in Sweden you won't have to worry about it. If you drive without lights you may find other drivers flashing their headlights at you to inform you. If your car is fitted with daytime running lights these are sufficient in daytime. </p><p>Driver and passengers must use seatbelts, when the car is equipped with them (antique cars are exempt). Crash helmets are mandatory for drivers and passengers of motorcycles. Motorcycle passengers under the age of seven may use any appropriate helmet — a riding helmet, skiing helmet or bicycle helmet. </p><p>In winter conditions from 1 December to 31 March <b>all cars</b> used in Sweden are required by law to have either studded tyres or un-studded winter friction tyres (or equivalent measures like snow chains). The tyres must be marked, M+S, M-s, M.S, M&S, MS or Mud and Snow. "Winter conditions" are to be expected in this period. Studded winter tyres are allowed 1 October to 15 April. See the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/winter-tyres">Transport Ministry info (in English)</a> </p><p>There are streets in <a href="/wiki/Stockholm" title="Stockholm">Stockholm</a>, <a href="/wiki/Uppsala" title="Uppsala">Uppsala</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gothenburg" title="Gothenburg">Gothenburg</a> where studded tyres are <b>banned</b>. There is a road sign for this. </p><p>If parking a German vehicle, and using SMS or a phone app to pay, do not add a hyphen to the vehicle number, even if this is commonly done in Germany. If parking a Belgian, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Irish or Latvian vehicle, do add the hyphens, if possible (apps might not allow them). The police are extremely strict about the precise content of the plate to be used, even if these faults can not point to a different vehicle. The supreme court ruled that doing your best is enough (see <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.svt.se/nyheter/konsument/tyska-sabine-vann-parkeringsstrid-mot-polisen-i-hogsta-domstolen">article in Swedish</a>), but it might still pay to be careful. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Roads">Roads</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg/220px-Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="155" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg/330px-Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg/440px-Eker%C3%B6v%C3%A4gen_2008e.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1876" data-file-height="1320" /></a><figcaption>Priority road with 70 km/h limit (länsväg 261).

Often, when you are driving at the correct speed on a 70 or 90 km/h road, you will constantly get passed by other cars or be urged to get out of the way to let them pass. On the other hand, speeding on 30 km/h roads is not accepted. If caught, speeding will cost you from 1500 <a href="/wiki/Sweden#Money" title="Sweden">kr</a>, for 1–10 km/h too fast, to 4000 kr, for 36–40 km/h too fast on 70 km/h or faster roads.

about driving after you have drunk even one beer. The legal limit is .02, only a quarter of that in the United States, Canada, and Britain. This limit means that you can not drink one beer at a restaurant and drive directly after. Police, at any time, can take blood by force, and if you are over the limit, it's automatic jail time. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Trucks">Trucks</h2></div> <p>Lorries with trailers are often longer than in other European countries. Maximum length is 25.25 m instead of 18 m in continental Europe. This is the standard and does not have signs indicating a long vehicle. These vehicles are allowed on all roads unless there's a local weight or length restriction. Keep this in mind when trying to overtake. It's not uncommon to meet these lorries fully loaded with timber on narrow, curvy rural roads. If so, slow down, keep out or find a wide place to meet. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Stay_safe">Stay safe</h2></div> <dl><dd><i>See also: <a href="/wiki/Winter_driving" title="Winter driving">Winter driving</a>, <a href="/wiki/Animal_collisions" title="Animal collisions">Animal collisions</a></i></dd></dl> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg/120px-Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg.png" decoding="async" width="120" height="107" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg/180px-Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg/240px-Sweden_road_sign_A19-1.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="807" data-file-height="717" /></a><figcaption>Warning sign for moose.</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Animal_collisions">Animal collisions</h3></div> <p>Many countryside accidents are <a href="/wiki/Animal_collisions" title="Animal collisions">animal collisions</a>. The biggest roads normally have fences against wild animals, but the smaller roads do not. You need to look out for deer and moose unless you want a 500 kg animal coming through the windscreen. Steer to the rear of the animal, as it might run forward when scared. In the north you will also have to watch out for reindeer. They usually travel in herds. Always slow down until all of them have passed. Reindeers are not that agile and unwilling to jump into a ditch. They will follow the road to the next level place at the roadside and then disappear into the wilderness. </p><p>Be extra careful to wild animals on the roads under these circumstances: </p> <ul><li>Sunrise/sunset.</li> <li>Springtime (as moose reject last year's calves and give birth to new ones).</li> <li>Moose hunting season in early October.</li> <li>Edge of forests.</li> <li>Bridges across streams.</li></ul> <p>In some cases there are fences along part of the road and then the fences stop for the purpose of letting the animals pass. In such cases and in other places where wild animals are often seen there are normally warning signs. </p><p>These animals are mostly moving at dusk and dawn. While driving along lakes be especially observant as animals go for drinks at the lakes. Also, if driving in the hunting season, the wild animals might be scared by hunting parties and move around more than usual. It is normal for an ongoing hunting party to place temporary triangular traffic warning signs at the edge of roads with the text: "Jakt pågår" (<i>ongoing hunt</i>). </p><p>If you hit an animal and it wanders off into the woods wounded, don't forget to mark the spot where it wandered into the forest and call the police. Hitting an animal is not a crime, but not reporting it is. Your car must be fitted with a special paper ribbon (<i>viltolycksremsa</i>) for this purpose. The purpose for this is to be able to use dogs to hunt down the wounded animal – <b><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.viltolycka.se/service/sa-har-gor-du-om-du-kolliderar-med-vilt/">viltolycka.se</a></b> (in Swedish only). </p> <table class="cquote" role="presentation" style="margin:auto; display: table; border-collapse: collapse; border: none; color: var(--color-base); background-color: transparent; width: auto;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width: 20px; vertical-align: top; border: none; color: #B2B7F2; font-size: 40px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: .6em; text-align: left; padding: 10px 10px;">“ </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; border: none; padding: 4px 10px;">According to section 26 of the Hunting Act and section 40 of the Hunting Regulation, a collision between motor vehicles and bear (<i>björn</i>), wolf (<i>varg</i>), wolverine (<i>järv</i>), lynx (<i>lodjur</i>), elk (<i>älg</i>), red deer (<i>kronhjort</i>), fallow deer (<i>dovhjort</i>), roe deer (<i>rådjur</i>), otter (<i>utter</i>), wild boar (<i>vildsvin</i>), mouflon (<i>mufflonfår</i>) and eagle (<i>örn</i>) must be reported to the police even if the animal is not clearly damaged.
