Police in Umeå, Sweden, have recently stopped an unusually high number of A-tractor drivers suspected of drunk driving. Over the past three months, police have stopped six A-tractor drivers in the Umeå area on suspicion of drunk driving. Police say this is a trend linked to social media challenges encouraging young people to drive under the influence.
Janne Belander, a local police officer, described the number as incredibly high for such a short period in a limited age group. Police are urging young people to think twice, warning that accidents from drunk driving can be much worse than expected. Belander noted that while most young people are responsible, the trend of drunk driving must be stopped.
