Driving Rules & Facts
Drive on the Right — Sweden drives on the right side. Overtake only on the left. At unmarked intersections, yield to vehicles coming from the right (högerregeln).
Vision Zero Policy — Sweden's Vision Zero policy (adopted 1997) means road design shares responsibility with drivers. Infrastructure is built to minimise fatal outcomes — cable barriers, roundabouts, and separated pedestrian/cycling paths are standard.
Headlights 24/7 — Dipped headlights (halvljus) or DRL are mandatory at ALL times, year-round — even in bright summer daylight. This applies to all vehicles on all roads. Fine: SEK 1,500.
Winter Tires (Dec 1 – Mar 31) — Winter tires are mandatory December 1 through March 31 when conditions are wintry. Minimum 3mm tread depth. Studded tires (dubbdäck) permitted October 1 – April 15. Fine: SEK 1,200.
Trafikförsäkring (Mandatory Insurance) — Third-party liability insurance (trafikförsäkring) is mandatory for all registered vehicles. Driving without insurance is a criminal offence. Uninsured vehicles are charged a penalty fee by Trafikförsäkringsföreningen.
BAC 0.02% — One of Europe's Strictest — Blood alcohol limit is 0.02% (0.2‰) — one of the lowest in Europe. Aggravated drink driving (grovt rattfylleri) at 0.10% (1.0‰). Income-based fines (dagsböter). Alkolås (alcohol interlock) programme available as alternative to revocation.

Tips for Choosing a Driving School in Stockholm
- Compare prices from at least 3 schools before enrolling. The cheapest option is not always the best — check what is included in the package.
- Ask schools about their pass rates. A higher pass rate often indicates better instruction quality.
- If Sweden's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
