Traffic safety for mopeds and A-tractors

The documents do not address traffic safety for A-tractors or moped cars. The closest principle is that all children and young people shall grow up with the support and security they need, and that urban planning shall reduce car dependency rather than build further on it. Measures that reduce accidents among young drivers align with that principle.

• security for children and young peopledecisive»barn ska växa upp med det stöd som behövs för att klara skolan och« (party programme ↗)“children shall grow up with the support needed to manage school and”
• reduced car dependency»att låsa människor i bilberoende.« (party programme ↗)“to lock people in car dependency.”
• expanded public transport»För att såväl öka alla människors rörelsefrihet som för att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser så behöver även kollektivtrafiken byggas ut och göras billigare och mer tillgänglig i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To both increase everyone's freedom of movement and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, public transport also needs to be expanded and made cheaper and more accessible throughout the country.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan says nothing about mopeds, A-tractors or driving licence rules. Nearest-lying principle is the right to a safe immediate environment and society's fundamental responsibility for security, together with the demand for infrastructure enabling people's travel throughout the country. Measures reducing accidents among young drivers point in that direction, but the foundation is weak.

• safe immediate environmentdecisive»Rätt till trygg närmiljö för alla, prioritering av trygghetsskapande arbete.« (party programme ↗)“Right to a safe immediate environment for all, prioritisation of security-creating work.”
• society's security responsibility»Samhället har ett grundläggande ansvar att säkra tryggheten i landet.« (party programme ↗)“Society has a fundamental responsibility to ensure security in the country.”
• travel throughout the country»Infrastruktur som möjliggör människors resande och transporter av varor över hela« (party programme ↗)“Infrastructure enabling people's travel and transport of goods across the whole”

The plan does not address mopeds or A-tractors. The closest principle is that the traffic environment shall be safe and that children and young people have the right to a safe childhood. Measures such as driver training, speed limits and stops to tampering reduce accidents among young drivers, which is why the plan most closely speaks in favour of the counter-proposal.

• safe traffic environmentdecisive»Städer ska vara levande och tillgängliga, med säkra platser för möten, kultur, lek och rekreation.« (party programme ↗)“Cities shall be lively and accessible, with safe places for meetings, culture, play and recreation.”
• children's safety»Alla barn har rätt till en trygg och stabil barndom med frihet att leka, utforska och drömma.« (party programme ↗)“All children have the right to a safe and stable childhood with freedom to play, explore and dream.”
• less car traffic»minska bilåkandet i storstäderna och främja gång-, cykel- och kollektivtrafik.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“reduce car driving in major cities and promote walking, cycling and public transport.”

The election manifesto promises roads will be upgraded and made safer for all road users, and that the entire country shall have reliable infrastructure. Mopeds and A-tractors are in practice young people's transport above all outside major cities, and increased accident rates are precisely the kind of traffic safety problem the plan wants to address. Reviewing training, weight limits, speed and tampering therefore follows from the commitment.

• traffic safety for all road usersdecisive»Vi vill rusta upp vägarna, göra dem mer trafiksäkra för alla trafikanter, förbättra belysningen, vägunderhållet året runt och bygga fler laddstolpar och snabbladdare i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to upgrade roads, make them safer for all road users, improve lighting, road maintenance year-round and build more charging points and fast chargers across the country.”
• reliable infrastructure nationwide»Hela landet ska ha tillgång till en pålitlig infrastruktur, snabbt bredband och pålitlig mobiltäckning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The entire country shall have access to reliable infrastructure, fast broadband and reliable mobile coverage.”
• equal conditions nationwide»Alla delar av landet ska ges likvärdiga förutsättningar för utveckling och tillväxt.« (party programme ↗)“All parts of the country shall be given equal conditions for development and growth.”
• youth safety»Särskilt viktigt är att värna varje barns rätt att bli respekterad och att bli sedd för den man är.« (party programme ↗)“It is especially important to protect every child's right to be respected and to be seen for who they are.”

The plan addresses neither A-tractors, quad bikes, nor driving license categories. The nearest principles are that transport policy shall recognize the car's role in rural areas, that the rules shall be such that it is easy to do right, and that young people as they mature shall take increasing own responsibility. A review of training, weight limit, speed, and tampering protection is consistent with these principles, but the conclusion is derived and uncertain.

• the car's role in rural areasdecisive»Transportpolitiken måste erkänna bilens roll på landsbygden.« (party programme ↗)“Transport policy must recognize the car's role in rural areas.”
• clear and enforceable rules»Vi vill ha spelregler som gör det lätt att göra rätt och säkerställer konkurrens på rättvisa villkor även i digitaliseringens och delningsekonomins tid.« (party programme ↗)“We want rules that make it easy to do the right thing and ensure competition on fair terms even in the age of digitalization and the sharing economy.”
• young people's growing own responsibility»Barn och ungdomar har rätt att respekteras som individer och i takt med åldern få ta ett ökande ansvar för sin egen tillvaro.« (party programme ↗)“Children and young people have the right to be respected as individuals and as they age to take increasing responsibility for their own lives.”

The party programme maintains a vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries in traffic and states that speed limits shall be adapted to safety considerations. The counter-proposal's demands for an equal speed limit, weight limit, adapted driver training and measures against manipulation are direct applications of this, given that accidents have increased. The plan also states that the traffic system shall be designed with consideration for all approved vehicle types. The demand is supported.

• zero vision in trafficdecisive»Det är viktigt med en nollvision för dödsfall och svåra skador i trafiken.« (party programme ↗)“It is important to have a vision of zero deaths and serious injuries in traffic.”
• speed adapted to safety»Hastighetsbestämmelser ska anpassas till miljö- och säkerhetsaspekter.« (party programme ↗)“Speed limits shall be adapted to environmental and safety considerations.”
• all vehicle types considered»Trafiksystemet ska utformas med hänsyn till alla godkända fordonsslag.« (party programme ↗)“The traffic system shall be designed with consideration for all approved vehicle types.”
• shared responsibility for traffic safety»Ansvar för en säker trafik ligger både på dem som utformar trafikmiljön, staten och kommunerna, men också på den enskilde trafikanten.« (party programme ↗)“Responsibility for safe traffic lies both with those who design the traffic environment, the state and municipalities, but also with the individual road user.”

The plan mentions neither A-tractors nor mopeds. The nearest-lying commitments are that one shall be able to get around safely on the roads and that the car should be a reasonable everyday option for families outside the major cities, which argues for measures that increase safety for young drivers without making their transport impossible. Measures against manipulation of vehicle speed also align with the plan's general position that the law shall apply equally. The foundation is, however, weak.

The plan contains an explicit commitment to raise the speed limit for A-tractors to 45 km/h, which is the core of the counter-proposal's demand for an equal speed limit for mopeds class I and A-tractors. The plan also emphasizes that young people with motor vehicles should be met with appreciation instead of police pursuit, which speaks to ordered rules regarding education and tuning rather than prohibition. Therefore, the plan supports the counter-proposal's demand.

• raised speed for A-tractorsdecisive»Höja hastighetsgränsen på A-traktorer till 45 km/h« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Raise the speed limit for A-tractors to 45 km/h”
• support for motor-powered youth»Vi vill höga hastighetsgränsen för A-traktorer istället för att låta polisen jaga musikspelade tonåringar på cruising.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to raise the speed limit for A-tractors instead of letting police chase music-playing teenagers cruising.”
• resistance to reduced speed limits»Stoppa Trafikverkets sänkningar av hastigheterna på vägarna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop the Transport Agency's reductions of speed limits on roads”
