- My God, it's life threatening, I understand that people get cursed. This is not how it should go on the lake, says Minister of the Interior Mikael Damberg (S) and returns the phone to SVT's reporter.

The mobile film that makes him react is from a jetty in Stockholm's inner city - one of many places where bathers are crowded with scooters in the water on sunny days. A man on a scooter turns sharply in front of a person in the water and deliberately splashes him and other people ashore with the surge of the hull.

Driver's license can take two years

The government wants - in light of the recent careless snowmobiling - to make demands on driver's licenses, but it may take two years. And the question is whether that is enough.

  - More monitoring means that there is less negligence. We notice quite a big difference when we are here and are in the areas that are problematic, that it dampens the effect that people want to show up, says Henrik Lundh, station manager at the Coast Guard Djurö.

Mikael Damberg points out that a driver's license is only part of the solution.

- Those who rent out must take a clearer responsibility and inform, but also have clear rules that you do not rent to anyone if you do not take care of yourself. Then we also have the police and coast guard who have expanded their work, he says.

 "15-year limit toothless"

Today, there is a 15-year age limit for driving a scooter - but most people who drive are older, and people under the age of 18 who drive carelessly are not fined.

 - It is difficult to be able to prosecute. It becomes more that we contact the parents and point out that they should not drive these vehicles if they are too young and do not have the education, says Henrik Lundh. 

So it becomes practically toothless to have such a rule?

 - Yes, I would say that.
