New Swedish Driving Rules Allow Four-Wheel Practice for AM License Training

Key Points
  • New Swedish regulations allow AM license training with three or four-wheeled vehicles instead of just mopeds.
  • Krylbo trafikskola in Dalarna has purchased a moped car to offer the new training option for improved traffic safety.
  • Some driving schools in the region cite high equipment costs as a barrier to implementing the new training methods.

New regulations for AM driver's license training in Sweden now permit practice driving with four-wheeled vehicles for those seeking licenses for A-tractors or mopeds. The rules, which took effect in February 2026, allow driving schools to conduct training with vehicles having three or four wheels, a significant change from previous requirements where students practiced only with regular mopeds. According to SVT Dalarna, Lasse Olsson of Krylbo trafikskola in Dalarna is among the driving school instructors who have invested in a moped car to offer this new training option.

Olsson emphasized that the change primarily concerns traffic safety, allowing students to practice on four wheels when most will be driving A-tractors after completing their training. However, the implementation remains limited in Dalarna, with some driving schools citing high costs for purchasing moped cars as a barrier that could lead to higher prices for students. Olsson acknowledged that many are deterred by the high price but views it as a worthwhile investment.
