Ambulance staff in Dalarna experience dangerous situations and delays in traffic daily when blue lights approach.
The ambulance service in Dalarna, which also responds to emergencies in northern Västmanland and Gävleborg, is collaborating with Trafikverket to improve blue light awareness among other road users.
– We have received signals that many are unsure how to act when blue lights appear, says Charlotta Redtzer, head of the test unit at Trafikverket Förarprov.
Through the collaboration, input is gathered and integrated into the B driver's license theory section. A new EU directive taking effect in 2029 will make blue lights a separate test point with more questions.
