Do speed cameras in Sweden only take photos as you approach them (one way only) or can they cover both sides of the road?

Only if a cop catches you. Theres no way to prove through a camera who is drivning if your face isnt visible, thats how the law is written atleast.

We had a guy a fue years ago that became infamous because of driving violations. He would put on a gorilla mask and speed like crazy all over town. Back and forth, over there and back to here. They had hundreds if not thousands of pictures of a speeding gorilla on camera. The police caught him later with a gorilla mask in his car and he lost his license xD.

That’s hilarious. Last time I drove in Sweden most people seemed to stick to the limits but 90kmh on those straight rural roads (not in winter) was just a bit too boring. Is it acceptable to go 20-30 over or would other drivers view that as particularly aggressive driving?

Yeah you shouldnt do that. We have slot of wildlife. Almost everyone that doesnt live in the city center has sometime crashed with a wild animal, atleast been very close.

Thats a part of why those roads are slow.
