On this day – 3. September – 1967 changed Sweden from left to right hand driving
Sweden, as a lone country in mainland Europe, drove on the left side of the road until the 3. of September 1967. A few years later had Sweden held a referendum on whether or not the wanted to change which side of the road they were driving on. A huge majority had voted against changing, but the government decided against the referendum, and at 5 in the morning was the new regulations implemented. Malta, Great Britain, Ireland, North Ireland and the Canary Islands are the only European countries which today drives on the left side of the road.
