Not ...Well, the picture is from downtown Stockholm. Not the E4 between Gävle and Söderhamn... ;-) The main difference in empty highways is that you might find an emtpy highway with 7 lanes here and only 2 in Sweden. I've driven between Chicago and New Orleans once - it's scary to drive on your own with three lanes on each side... Around here however, where it's pretty populated I have yet to drive alone any time of the day. <BR/><BR/>Never heard of the motorcycle driver - but I watch out for him the next time I'm there! ;-)JaCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996084472747773269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36080398.post-69405372540468210312007-05-15T16:34:00.000-07:002007-05-15T16:34:00.000-07:00Remember.

Take for example long stretches between Utah and Nevada. Traffic is relatively light. But don't be terrified on US highways. Be terrified on the highway into Stockholm from Årlanda. Why? Because there is a 'famous' motorcycle driver who drives like a maniac darting in and out of traffic at ridiculously high rates of speed while filming himself and then putting it up on the Internet. I wish I could remember the character's site online. He's famous here for it though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36080398.post-75454182448858082212006-12-20T10:37:00.000-08:002006-12-20T10:37:00.000-08:00Jo, vägnätet USA v Sverige är som natt och dag.Vi ...Jo, vägnätet USA v Sverige är som natt och dag.Vi bor i en lugn småstad (eller förort), men det finns inte mångar vägar här som inte är 2-filig. I en småstad. Dessutom finns det inte bara en väg (typ huvudväg) utan massor med vägar som man kan välja. Folk där hemma är fascinerade (eller kanske förskräckta) över fenomenet... <br />/utvandrar-AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
