Title: I Need a Swedish driver licence
Post by: Lori on 26/03/2006 17:53:11

Help !  I am an American living in the south of Sweden.  I have a Swedish residency permit.
I still have a valid US driver licence but need a Swedish one.  Is there anyway around all the theory tests and costs ?  My valid US licence will expire this August!  Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori

Take the tests.  Your driving will improve as a result. Your risk of having an accident will be reduced.
Live long and prosper.

P.S. Sometimes the right answer is not the one we want to hear.

Observe; collate; conjecture; analyse; hypothesise; test; validate; theorise. Repeat until complete.

I agree with Ophi......I don't see how you can shortcut the test I'm afraid, even though you already hold a US licence, the highway code in Sweden is different surely....good luck...let us know how you get on.....plus, you have to learn how to avoid all those rogue saunas !!

Thanks for the advice.  I guess I'll just have to suck it up!
Have a good day :)
