Sweden: Touring - Driving holiday

Sweden prides itself on being eco-friendly, so driving holidays are not necessarily promoted. but if you do want to take your car around Sweden, it is useful to bear in mind the rules of the road, ie. driving on the right, being 18-years-old, and always carrying your licence and other relevant documents. Swedish roads are not as busy as British ones and in some places you can drive for whole days without seeing another vehicle. Other things to consider are drink driving (Sweden’s laws against this are very strict), and reminding yourself that Sweden’ weather conditions can be very adverse – if you have never driven in extreme snowy conditions, you may need to make alternative arrangements if you can.
