The road to a driver’s license can be long and winding. It can also be very expensive, even for those who do not take a lot of driving lessons.
Taking driving lessons can quickly add up to the cost of a driver’s license. But if you only do the mandatory risk 1 and risk 2 courses with ice skating rink, drive-up and theory test, it will still be a few thousand kroner.
For those who also need to redo their drive-up a few times, it can be really expensive.

They can get free driver’s license training
For those who are young in Nässjö in Småland, they can now have their driver’s license training paid for by the Salvation Army, reports P4 Jönköping.
The reason behind the initiative is that they want to stop gang crime and the gangs’ recruitment of young people in this way.
– People think that Nässjö is quite safe and calm, but we see that the problems are increasing and that recruitment to different gangs or other constellations is now going down in age, says Maria Olausson at the Salvation Army.

The young people who promise to stay away from crime and crime therefore get their driver’s license for free.
– We see that here they go in and promise to stay away from police records and trouble. And show that I can, actually. And it’s like it’s doing something to these young people. Then we follow them with a mentor too, during these years. Which is also extra support for them, says Maria Olausson P4 Jönköping.
