Riding student vans is a tradition

Something that belongs to the student is to ride a student van. It has become a tradition that takes over cities across the country in June every year.

But those of you who think it’s just a matter of jumping on the flatbed and cheering, think again – there are a lot of rules you need to know in order to travel on the flatbed.

On The Swedish Transport Agency website, which rules apply are explained. As it is not normally permitted to travel on flatbeds or trailers, an exception is made during student hours, if certain requirements are met.

The Swedish Transport Agency’s rules for riding student vans:

  • You may only take passengers in such a number and place them in such a way that no danger can arise.
  • There must be sturdy guardrails or equivalent devices of sufficient height to prevent passengers from falling off. These should be at least 110 cm high. Seats or benches must be fixed.
  • Passenger spaces must not have dangerous irregularities, protruding parts or sharp edges that could increase the risk of injury to passengers.
  • The passengers must be able to contact the driver directly through a reliable communication system in case something happens. If a mobile phone is used, the call must be connected during the entire journey.
  • The vehicle may not drive faster than 20 km per hour and may only be driven on roads where the speed limit is a maximum of 70 km per hour.
  • The driver must be 21 years of age and hold a valid driver’s license for two years. If a tractor with a trailer is to be driven in a similar context, the driver must at least have authorization B and have had that authorization for two years.
  • When traveling on a trailer, the connection to the towing vehicle must be secure. You may only have one trailer and it must be so stable that it does not risk tipping over.

    • Also The police has requirements that need to be met.

    The police’s rules for riding a student van:

  • Tell the police your intended route and final destination
  • Date and time
  • What type of vehicle
  • Vehicle registration number
  • Number of participants
  • Who is responsible for the transport and their telephone number
  • Which school do you belong to?

    • “Student floatation does not normally require a permit from the police. If, on the other hand, you organize, for example, a large student procession with the aim of gathering an audience, the arrangement may constitute a public event that requires a permit according to the Public Order Act,” writes the Police on their website.
