* Report: Most Swedish truck drivers 'too fast'
Stockholm,Sweden -The Local -4 Mar 13: -- The majority of truck drivers in Sweden are speeding, according to a new investigation, with police planning to crack down on the lawbreakers and increase roadside surveillance... The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) reported that 70 percent of truck drivers with trailers were speeding... A new investigation carried out by the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) and the National Police Board (Rikspolisstyrelsen) indicates that 40 percent of truck drivers with a heavy load are also speeding... With the sheer weight of such vehicles, the impact during an accident is even more severe with every extra kilometre over the speed limit... Arvidsson claims that the drivers of these vehicles should be role models for other drivers, but are failing to even keep to their own rules, and are often in violation of their own resting times... Claes Tingvall at Transportstyrelsen claimed that the lawbreaking drivers were a reflection of the norm... Now, the police are planning to crack down on the drivers in an effort to slow them down, and lessen the severity of any possible accidents in the future...
