Check Out The Dirty Underbelly Of Swedish Street Racing

Don’t believe the myth that all Swedes are dedicated to safety and civility.

It’s a common misperception by Americans and others that the Swedes are all tame, obedient, and obsessed with safety. Maybe that comes from Volvo, the car company that says it wants to prevent all road fatalities in its vehicles, mixed a little bit with IKEA and who knows what else. Wherever that image comes from, thanks to a video which shows some pretty crazy and very organized illegal street racing in Stockholm, we have an excellent example to debunk that myth.

See how an AirTag helped police find a stolen car in minutes here.

Everyone meets at a gas station where things look pretty chaotic. It seriously reminds us of the street takeover gatherings in the US right before everyone swarms an intersection to do donuts. Why aren’t the police there? Good question. We’ve seen many reports that there are areas in Stockholm and other parts of Sweden where the police don’t go at all because crime is so out of control. Is this in one of those areas? We’re not sure, but it’s possible. Already, you can see things aren’t as orderly in Sweden as you’ve been told.
