A-Traktor In Sweden

Hello!

In Sweden there is a vehicle that is pretty common that's called A-trakor or Epa-Traktor.

You can almost call it a car, but it can't, or is not allowed to by the law, to go faster than 30km/h.

When you are 15 years old you can go to a drivingschool and get a license that's called AM-kort. It costs around 4500:- swedish crons.

With this AM-kort you are allowed to drive moped, motorised quadricycle, agricultural tractors and of course A-traktor or Epa-traktor.

The difference between A-traktor and Epa-traktor is that you can't build Epa-traktor anymore, an Epa-traktor is allowed to be able to go faster than 30km/h, only on second gear tho, but you are not allowed to drive it faster than 30km/h. If you get pulled over by the police and you were driving to fast there is a big chance that they will take your driverslicense from you and give you speedingtickets.

A-traktor is not even allowed to be able to go faster than 30km/h, then you will definietly get pulled over.

This is my A-traktor, it is called Algen :)

I do believe that most people know what snuff is, but the special thing about it is that it's actually produced and sold in Sweden.

Sweden produce the snuff and then exports it to other countries who sell it.

Jantelagen is an unwritten law, that says that you aren't allowed to be seen and think that you're better than anyone else in any way.

#6 Allemansrätten, right of public access

Allemansrätten is the right for all people to be on private land i the nature, to temporarily stay there and pluck berries, mushrooms and other things.

With this right, responsibility comes. You got to show respect both for the land and the animals who live there.

And also to the landowner and other people you may meet.
