As a motorist, you have a multitude of traffic rules to follow and it happens from time to time that you accidentally break a rule.
One in three drives too fast
A traffic rule that many people break is driving over the speed limit. A new survey by Riksförbundet M Sweden shows that two out of three drivers drive too fast. The survey shows that motorists have in common that they drive too fast in front of schools, where the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour.

Common traffic mistakes in roundabouts
Another common mistake occurs when driving on a roundabout. Many drivers do not know how to flash in roundabouts and this can lead to danger and risk of accidents.
The traffic teacher Pelle Moller tells in an interview with P4 Kalmarhow to think when driving in roundabouts.
– If you are going to turn right or straight ahead, you should keep a little to the right so that you get a nice arc. If you want to go left or around, keep a little to the left, he says to the radio channel.
According to a survey from National Confederation M Sweden from 2022, 41 percent of drivers use turn signals incorrectly, or not at all, in roundabouts. So how to do?
When you are in a roundabout, the same rules apply as if you are driving on a straight road, this means that you must blink when changing lanes or leaving the roundabout, according to Gothenburg traffic. You don’t need to blink when you drive into the roundabout.
