"With Sweden's neighbors Norway and Finland driving on the right..." Proceeds to show a map where Finland no longer exists
@pierrekilgoretrout3143
A nowegian colleague of mine used to tell a joke about this: "This week all cars start driving on the right, and if by next week it goes well, the trucks too"

World: You should switch over to Metric, US. US: "Naah, too expensive."
@jrushen4235
Wow, that was very interesting. Well put together. Thanks.
@larsmolin8788
I was a teacher in Sweden. Every school had to paint "roads" outside the school and practise H. One hour a week we had "traffic school" - We should continue with that........No big problem to change - but scary to drive on "the wrong side".
@TomtensKanal
That map... Finland a part of the Soviet Union? The shape of Poland? Where is this map from?
@BarbaOlof
Just love seeing all those old cars in nice condition. 😀
@Tarkov.
"Keep to the right, Svensson" A bit on the nose lmao.
@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188
As a Dane I got my Licence in 1966, but I had two uncles who often drove in Sweden, also in the left side. And even Gibraltar drives right.
@lenhornsey2175
i remember watching this on UK TV at the time. They also had to keep lights on during the day ...... which lead to day light running lights .... Volvos in the UK where always being flashed because other drivers thought they had left their lights on!
@koos48
I followed the changeover live on Dutch tv, and learned my first Swedish word: HÖGER.
@rx6180
This switch from driving on the left over to the right has always mildly fascinated me since I first found out about it around a decade ago. This is the best account of it I’ve seen. Judging by what you’ve said though, many people were already driving left hand drive cars before it happened, something else I’d not considered. With the four year build up to the actual day back in 1967 (when I was 5) it’s almost as momentous as Brexit. Except far better organised.

My first car in 1973 was a VW Beetle imported from Sweden. It was 15yrs old when I got it!
@sbomorse
I'm so grateful the UK is and will always be driving on the left.
@semirhuskic8028
Another brilliant video, you always find a way to surprise me with some new highly interesting content i never heard before!
@markwright3161
I just wish I could have seen this happen in person.
@whitlaw1395
Oh dear. I thought I remembered this. Every second year on holidays we crossed with the ferry from Denmark to Sweden and went north to cross the border to Norway at Svinesund. I have a vivid memory how we akwardley had to change sides crossing the border. But now I see that can't be! I was born a month AFTER the change. .... I guess my parents just told us vividly about it in my early childhood and it became a false memory :)
@PauxloE
2:23 So you show a map, and talk about a street between to cities, but the map neither shows the cities nor the road. Why???
@tdmartijn
Never seen a video with so many beautiful cars (Volvo Amazon, PV444 & PV544).
