Also Swedes are obsessed with safety. They have a so-called “Nollvisionen” or “Vision Zero” implying that the only acceptable amount of deaths on the road is 0 (zero). In 2023 it was 232. Way too many, but 10 times less per capita than my home country. Guess they’re doing something right.

So you can imagine that you get failed on your driving test for even one unsafe maneuver.

Having said all that, there are way more reckless drivers on Swedish roads than I expected.
