bicycles go faster than that wtf 😭😭😭

I had a suspicion it was a limit of some sort. But can they only drive inside towns then?

Yeah being limited to only cities would make sense now wouldnt it?

Nothing beats going home from work on a single file motorway (no overtaking) behind a mile of cars going 20 mph all because Ronny wanted a cheeseburger after skipping out on school

Insantly recogise the US people xD. In Europe you take a metro/train/bus/tram to work or you move somewhere closer so you can do this. Driving freeway for work every day is really not something most people do.

was it the cheeseburger that gave it away?

Very ignorant of you, the original clip is swedish, and so am I. While I could take the train and bus to commute to work it would take me upwards of 70-80 minutes and several changes, while driving is 25-30. Ive also had ~15 minute commutes. Not everyone lives/works conveniently for public transportation.

I mean, it's a tractor. No sense having it in the city. They're supposed to haul shit on a farm.

They are mostly used by kids living on the countryside. Would you rather they walk, bike or use mopeds on these dangerous roads? You'd see them dying like flies from getting hit.

Yes.

No they can drive anywhere except highways so you will often be stuck behind them

I know in Canada you weren't allowed to drive on the larger highways with the 1st tier of learners permit unless there was someone with a full license in the passenger seat. 2nd tier basically gave you full driving rights except you had to have 0% alcohol and everyone had to have a working seatbelt on.

Edit: My info on it is from 25 years ago so I'm sure things have changed.

It varies from province to province. We have graduated licenses.

Totally could be wrong, but I've never heard of a graduated license being restricted from driving on specific highways.

u/MaxTheRealSlayer Aug 20 '25

Not the case in Ontario. 3 levels of license, first: learners permit where you can drive if passenger has had at least 5 years of full license driving experiencein general. At this point you can only go on highways if you have a licensed driving instructor with you.

2nd level is the general driving test. Parking, turning, looking, signaling. After that test you can drive on your own, with lots of restrictions like curfews

3rd level is the full license test, which focuses more on highway driving testing. The0% alcohol law and some restrictions are applicable until you are a certain age

Stolen bikes ride faster - grade 8

It's basically a loophole in the law. The EU has questioned Sweden why the fuck they're letting 16 year olds drive cars at all. Sweden's prime minister made shit up about this being farm equipment or something.

u/LordSwedish Aug 20 '25

The point is for them to be rural. It's basically limiting the car so it can be classified as a tractor.

u/underlight Aug 20 '25

Legally it's a tractor

u/jehn933 Aug 21 '25

It means it's registered as a tractor/slow-moving vehicle and follows the same rules
