In the clip above, he develops his reasoning.

The police cooperate, above all, with the social services around the Police Region Bergslagen to quickly lock people with substance abuse problems further there, to begin treatment.

The idea is that every suspected drunk driver should be motivated to say yes to help, but in reality few do.

There are also no statistics on how many people actually receive the offer of an assistance contact and how this is coordinated looks very different in the police region.

Morgan Olsson, group manager for Torsby local police area, partly agrees that they can get better at taking the call, but also says that it is not that easy.

Displaces the problem

The rapid course of events is the whole point, according to Lars-Olov Sjöström.

Many are more receptive to help in connection with being stopped by the police.

- As time goes on, it becomes easy for the person's skin to thicken: "I probably do not really have a problem, I was unlucky enough to be stopped by the police, I had only drunk a little", and so on.

This is how you suppress that you actually have a problem and it is a common psychology in people with an addiction problem.

One can not really understand how we can have such incredibly low penalties for things like this.

There is something that is COMPLETELY wrong with the punishment.

You see the culprits live freely in the city again after a very short time locked up and live on as before they got stuck.

How many will be allowed to drive to death?


Please do something

A drug addict sitting inside can not kill anyone, much longer prison sentence please!

I would like to point out one important thing when it comes to traffic offenses: it is also a political issue that needs to be resolved here.

It is not automatically the case that it is only a police matter to solve the problem of traffic offenses.

The judiciary is also handcuffed to, for example, the problem of repeat offenders when it comes to traffic offenses.

There is a need for an urgent political solution to the problem of affected drivers and also repeat offenders.

One must realize that the car becomes a murder weapon in the hands of affected and inappropriate car drivers.


This is not just about grossly irresponsible and indifferent behavior when you drive everything to death.

severely harms other people.

It can also be about highly deliberate and intentional crimes that are committed, similar to other criminal classifications such as murder.

I think this is forgotten in the debate.

Naivety is great when traffic offenses are discussed.

No one would think of saying, for example, that an 'ordinary' murder would be 'irresponsible' or would have taken place out of 'negligence'.


We need to change our view of who traffic criminals really are: serious criminals who constantly relapse into crime.

Hi.

You have noticed how cars swayed and thought they were looking at their mobile.

But whether they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not up to me to judge.

On the other hand, when I drive to Örebro from Karlskoga, it drives fast.

From Karlskoga to the motorway there are 100 kilometers but there are few that hold.

And on the motorway, which is 110, people drive over 150 km / h.

Most often, it is people down expensive new cars.


So you should do it.

Check them out.

Personally, I think it's nice to drive at a speed that does not make driving uncomfortable.

You want control over the vehicle.

Not the other way around.

Fines should be adjusted according to income, the right to appeal the police traffic fine should be reviewed.

Traffic is my work environment and it is currently not acceptable!

We must have penalties that mark how wrong drugs are and not least in traffic.

Drive with a dashcam forwards and backwards, maybe 45-60 minutes of material a week with "doubtful drivers", this only from the stretch karlskoga-örebro and a little city driving in both cities per day.

Originally from the west and has moved here, and for my world can not understand how talentless drivers are here in general.
