Driving in Sweden
When I was visiting my ex in Sweden I noticed that everyone seems to drive around with headlights on regardless of viisbility and I never got round to asking him why. I know that Volvo lights come on automatically but do they produce all other makes in Sweden to do the same or is it just the way they are taught to drive?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Laws in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden require vehicles to operate with lights on during the daytime. There are two types of laws. Canada's requires vehicles to be equipped with daytime running lights (DRLs). The other type of law (in effect in Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) requires motorists to turn on their headlights if their vehicles do not have automatic DRLs.
In 1972, Finland mandated daytime running lights in winter on rural roads and a decade later made DRLs mandatory year-round. Sweden's law took effect in 1977, Norway's in 1986, Iceland's in 1988, and Denmark's in 1990. Hungary has required drivers on rural roads to operate with vehicle lights on since 1993.
