"With Sweden's neighbors Norway and Finland driving on the right..." Proceeds to show a map where Finland no longer exists
@UshasRides
Lived in Sweden 20 years, and I’ve heard colleagues mention this. But this is the first video I’ve ever seen about it. Fabulous footage! Thank you :)

My grandpa worked as a traffic police and said it was a mess, he had to give many tickets the upcoming days because people still hadn´t adapted.
@GeorgeSPAMTindle
I can remember when this happened, At the time some comedians made jokes about Ireland doing the same thing, but in a gradual manner starting with lorries and busses, followed by cars a few weeks later.
@Metaplayer
I just enjoyed watching all this Swedish retro videos
@hannessahlsten9300
0:54 What the fuck is that map!? -Finland is shown as part of the Soviet Union (which it was NOT, it was an independent western nation) -East Germany extend too much in the east (pre-WW2 border) -It also extends too much Northwest, taking West German and Danish territory (in reality it didn't even share a border with Denmark) -To compensate, West Germany has invaded and taken over more than half of Austria. WTF?
@Bicyclehub
Really enjoyed this. A fascinating subject and lovely spot-the-car period film. Good commentary too.
@TomtensKanal
That map... Finland a part of the Soviet Union? The shape of Poland? Where is this map from?
@PerKarlsson
Nice clips! I'm old enough to have some memories from this time. My dad had to switch to a right-hand drive car, because he worked as a postman.
@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"
@alexkilgour1328
This happened here, in Newfoundland, when we joined Canada in 1949.

@jrushen4235
Wow, that was very interesting. Well put together. Thanks.
@williamgallop9425
Fact: in border of Finland & Sweden btw Tornio (Fin) & Haparanda (Swe) was a crossing where the lanes changed right to left & vice versa. There was no bridge, lanes just crossed.
@MrCarpelan
Those are some excellent pronunciations! Thank you for taking the time to learn the words!
@torgeirbrandsnes1916
Great vlog as always! Here is a story from one of the Swedish top gear journalists: me and a photograph was out driving the whole night. At 4:50 we changed lanes and waited until 5:00 A.M. We were expecting to see car accidents at once. Nothing happend for the next two hours. At 7:30 we saw a police car. They were returing to base. The station was across the street from our head office for the newspaper. We followed the car and as he made right hand turn into the next street old habits... The police crashed into a car head on! We took pics and talked to all involved. And there was our story! Lol!
@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".
@Tarkov.
"Keep to the right, Svensson" A bit on the nose lmao.
@fransutherland4174
Was in Gothenburg the weekend of change over vehicles with odd numbers allowed one day, even numbers the next to reduce traffic during changeover.
