Driving in Sweden

[Bluemondy]

Our next driving adventure is Sweden.

Going overnight Harwich to the Hoek, driving to Kiel then overnight to Gothenbürg.

I know that Sweden is super strict on speeding, so will be watching that carefully.

Just wondered if anyone else had experience in Sweden!

Thanks

1 Swedish mile = 10km / 6.21 miles!

Had to Google that one! Your quite right.

Thanks to everyone, seems like it should be a pleasant journey

One thing to watch in spring is that on busy trunk roads you can get very shallow ruts worn by the spiked winter tyres.

In heavy rain these fill with water and you can get some aquaplaning. Position off a little bit so you avoid that.

Other than that Swedes are getting the hang of roundabouts now. Recall when the first one was built in our local place, the traffic just stopped in a wtf is this moment?

Check situation with the congestion charge and tolls, when I was there foreign and military reg vehicles were exempt from Stockholm congestion charge but not tolls. This is no longer the case, today foreign registered vehicles pay via EPASS.

Maybe try Norway? I drove from Gothenburg into Norway and then followed the coast north for a couple of thousand kms in January. Roads were rough at times, but scenery was great. Lots of ferries.

I'm obsessed with Norway. If I ever won the lottery that would be my ideal place. Somewhere around Tromso I think!

Might be next years trip
