Off-Topic: Swede Traffic Laws

[Vicious]

Help me out, Swedish ones.

Is that true that Swedish Police can only fine drivers if their cars are immobile? I mean, if you run away from the cops, and lose the tail, even with your plate in hands, they can´t do anything?

Solve my tormenting doubt.

alas, if only it was true... I'd benefit hugely from that provided I didn't get an engine failure which I usually do
or maybe I just shouldn't drive 110 km/h when the limit is 90 km/h. and that without a license... yet! just for practise..

@Northern: come on, they'd get you for that? I drive at 90-100 with an old car through tunnels where i'm not supposed to go over 80, i thank god every single day i don't get tickets sent to me at home.

 

[Northern Lights]

@Siren: yep, they'll get you for that if you're unlucky apparently driving too fast is a very serious offense in this country, as is tax fraud and both those horrific crimes are dealt with severely. should you however happen to murder someone, they'll let you off with a pat on the back and a wink, then give you an axe/chainsaw and drop you off outside a daycare centre.

I got this question from this site (maybe you know it):

http://www.getawayinstockholm.com

Where this "Mr. X" guy drive Porsches, C5, Audis and a lot of other nice cars through the city, by night, running away from the cops, and other stuff.

He´s a helluva driver, god damnit. They have some teaser from the vids for download, give it a try.

PS.: I´m not affiliated with the site, just like cars.

just like cars.

Damn, that's hardcore. The problem in this place, I think, is that the speed limits are too low.
Another thing that's fucked up is, in New York City there are cameras at intersections. If you pass a red light, or even a yellow light, it takes a picture. A few months later when you least expect it and when you're already pissed off at something else, you get this letter in the mail with a couple of photos of you 'breaking the law' (from different angles mind you) and a 'not-so-kind invitation to court'

EDIT: haha, I just remembered my dad should be getting one of those soon in his mail. He's gonna think "..the hell? I never drove the car into the city!"
And I'm gonna get a phone call

That actually happened to my grandpa that lives in Queens. It's a real shitter. :/

As long as you outrun the followers, they've got no chance of telling who actually drove the car. Sure, it will bounce back and before you know it the authoritys will have a thumb up the car owner's ass. That is not really a problem since you'll just have to make up a resonable explaination of why you simply don't know who was driving your car at that time...

It's idiotic to even try though, there are cases like this every now and then and few can stand the pressure from the cops and so on...

BET YeR ASS I WILL


And for the law thing, it's bullshit I think. They ask you to stop and if you don't stop, then it's another lawsuit since a new violation is done involving force majeur. And I don't see how they can fine the driver if his car is not fucking parked

 

[Hiljainen]

lol here now if you drive a bit too fast and/or a lot of other things it seems like they're going to tear apart your driving license and then possibly tear apart with their teeth your liver too, then again put you in a cage in the principal square of the city and so expose you to other people disapproval and violence.
some time ago i also had a nightmare where i was driving too fast without license and with a police car behind. all this and i haven't a driving license yet when i'll have it i'll become crazy

Swedish laws have the trick for convincing us to contribute to zero wrecks /year

I don't think it has to do only with the laws, but with the people too.

 

[krigsbarn]

Yeah, self responsibility in fact. Some people auto-fix their problems... That's why some countries have lower kill rates or other shits like that. Countries that often dont make hear about them. Scandinavia, greece, netherlands.... heh but it's a secret!!! fix your country before moving to another hah

 

[Malaclypse]

well, us germans only were good at fucking up every country, including our own

 

[krigsbarn]

lol but we forbid you of any offensive army... AHHAHAHAH serves you well... next time you guys do a shit, try not failing! ;-)
