The government has appointed an inquiry to review harsher penalties and new tools against reckless driving in central Malmö. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer and Helena Nanne highlight the need for effective measures.
The government is appointing a special inquiry to examine harsher penalties, a new criminal offense and easier options to confiscate vehicles and revoke driving licenses. The inquiry is to submit its proposals by 18 October 2027.
Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) and Helena Nanne (M), opposition councillor in Malmö, write that the situation in Malmö stands out compared with other cities. They stress that existing tools such as fines and spot inspections are insufficient.
Residents on Bergsgatan welcome the proposals. They hope the measures will end the recurring disturbances that have continued for several years.
