- Filmklipp från Dagen H, 3 september 1967.
Kortfilmaren, Göran Undén, filmade Slussen i Stockholm
före, under och även efter övergången till högertrafik.
I filmen hörs bland andra högertrafikgeneralen Lars Skiöld
och den dåvarande kommunikationsministern Olof Palme. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Jag var 13 år den soliga morgonen den 3 september 1967, jag hoppade upp på min cykel och begav mig som vanligt till skolan, hade helt glömt bort högertrafiken och blev stoppad av en polis, som vänligt påpekade att jag cyklade på fel sida :)
Haha, härlig historia! Undra om det skedde någon trafikolycka första dagen?
Wow, ty
Gick man i skolan på söndagar 1967?
Nej, måste ha varit på morgonen måndagen efter :) @@Raimo1957
@@affe3065 Om min farsa fortfarande levt kunde han berätta om när han flera veckor efter omläggningen möter en bil som kör på fel sida. En äldre förare som hade lite svårt att lägga om sin körning då han körde mestadels på landsbyggden med smala vägar så var det nog extra svårt.
I have a memory of riding with my grandfather sometime before the changeover and trying to pass a truck on a two-lane country road. Absolutely terrifying not being able to see the oncoming traffic.
It was a sensible decision for Sweden to switch driving sides in 1967. Waiting longer would've just made things more difficult and expensive as the number of vehicles increased and more roads were built. Continuing to drive on the left, while in the midst of all of the rest of Europe which was already on the right, would have been foolish.
I mean no, we voted against it.
@@Bregott07 That doesn't mean the right choice was to keep driving on the left. Norway, Denmark, Finland was driving on the right. Swedish cars were sold LHD in a country driving on the left, thats not a good option. I should know, i drive a RHD vehicle on the right here in Sweden, i understand why there where so many head on collisions.
People just don't like change.
Sweden is pretty isolated. Left driving should be no issue. Only the 2 roads to Norway had to adjust.
The music in this video is so calming
Oh, was schöne alte Filmaufnahmen von Slussen! Ich liebe so alte Filme !
schön, nur versteht dich so hier fast niemand :)
Bästa beslutet någonsin tagits i Sverige
Då har man förmodligen inte tagit många bra beslut i Sverige - hur de dåliga besluten var vill man knappast veta…
@@TheBrew1968 De finns dom som tvunget ska va kärringen mot strömmen. Felet var bara att detta skulle gjorts långt innan.
Sämsta* det gjorde slut på spårvagnarna och vi röstade mot högertrafik!
Slussen, detta gamla och komplicerade trafiksystem...säger berättarrösten anno 1967. Idag 2014 så ser det likadant ut om än med högertrafik.
Men inte längre idag, 2020.
Almost all cars had left hand steering before the switch
Yes. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory, but it changed to driving on the right in 1929 because it has a land border with Spain - even the Governor's car is left hand drive. Other than that, everything else looks British. However, Hong Kong and Macau stll drive on the left, and to enter mainland China you drive through a special road that loops round. Swedish trains still drive on the left, though they switch to the right in Malmö before they go over the bridge into Denmark.
Mycket intressant video. Tack för uppläggningen! Jag var 12 år gammal på dagen H och åkte med pappa från Axvall till Skara
Way too expensive to change over in The UK. Sweden was sparsely populated back then with few cars (by comparison to UK), plus they already had LHD cars so much easier. To change every sign and road marking, re set all the traffic lights and even physically chance some road junctions would be impossible with 35 million cars registered on UK roads. Even 20 years after Sweden changed there were some horrendous road junctions to contend with as they were originally designed for driving on the left.
I want to go to Sweden so bad!!!!!
Can anyone provide English subtitles for what is said? I don’t speak Swedish.
It started changing over in the 1890s, some parts changed to driving on the right, while others kept driving on the left until 1926. Apparently, rural areas drove on the right, conservative cities drove on the left, and radical ones drove on the right.
Det måste varit lite läbbigt att byta. Cykla "mot" trafiken. Tänk om man fick möte. Det måste varit en omställning för taxichaufförer att hitta kortaste och snabbaste vägen. Hade varit extraroligt, om någon kände igen sig själv eller någon annan bland de unga cyklisterna.
I don't speak Swedish, but can you perhaps translate what they are saying in the video?
Otrolig skillnad mellan 1967 och 1980 jämfört med skillnaden tex mellan 1985 och 2015. Som om utvecklingen stannade av 1980. Enda skillnaden idag är att SUVarna tillkommit. 1967 såg nästan ut som 1945.
Compared to the left hand countries like Great Britain, New Zeeland, Australia, Japan and India, there are fewer lethal accidents in Sweden
Trevligt film!
One theory is that US cars were popular, and they weren't widely available in right hand drive. In Italy, it was the other way around - years after it changed to driving on the right, cars were right hand drive.
Sure, but in the late 18th century, more countries started driving on the right, as a result of the French Revolution, with many countries falling under French influence changing sides - the Benelux countries, most of Spain, as well as Denmark. Russia also changed about the same time, and when Finland passed from Sweden to Russia, it also changed over. Portugal, Italy and most of the Austro-Hungarian Empire still drove on the left.
@DriftxKingGTR Sweden was the only scandinavian country with lefthand traffic, none of the other countries in the area had lefthand traffic, thats why we did change to righthand traffic.
My svenska is limited to null. Some of the comments I can understand. The audio is still challenging.
Vad heter låten från 1:52 till 3:51?
Italobrothers - Stamp on the ground
@DriftxKingGTR Yeah it must have been pretty complicated, especially when most cars had only rear-view mirror on the right side.
It went quite smoothly, thanks to the 10 minutes standstill pause which was ordered before the change of sides. I was there.
@SirJensen1997 oh i see. but i dont get how the cars were left hand steering and still they were going on the left before they changes :S
Riktig gammal god speaker. Låter mer 30- tal än 60-tal. Vem läser? Göran Undén?
I remember the 3rd of Sept 1967 very well! It was when I was born LOL!
Vilken fantastisk apparat!
Många fina gamla bilar, fenmercer, Opel kapitän, Opel rekord, folka snurror, Volvo Amazon och pv, Saab mm. Tyckte mig se en karmann ghia också 😎
@johanwinston Yeah I knew all about that... I was just looking for a precise translation of the dialogue in the vid.
hejsan mina svensk vanner. so did everyone have to switch their steering wheels, or was everyone driving with the steering wheel aligned on left side already? confused.
Everyone was driving with the steering wheel aligned on left side already. In never the steering wheel never was on the right side.
Not everyone drove left-hand drive cars, perhaps about 10% had the steering wheel on the correct side, plus practically all buses. My family lived there in the 1960s and we certainly had RHD cars. Driving on the left in an RHD car is so much better and not least safer.
Cool cool, very interesting facts you got there :)
At 1:07 there´s a big green Volvo lorry which maybe was my father´s. Memories.
Och hur kan du veta det?
@@himfromscandinavian5354 Det kan jag inte veta, men han hade exakt den modellen under de åren.
När Sverige var ett bra, tryggt och fint land 🥲
A great film recording the change over from left to right. At the end of the film is a brand new Leyland bus made in the UK. I guess Sweden then learned how to make their own buses!
More likely Sweden had access to much better quality LHD buses. Leyland wasn't known for quality, and the UK was "Europe's sick man" back then.
No matter I didnt understand a word this video is so beautiful.. Colors, cars, music.. People are nicely dressed and look confident. Can I marry a Swed, please? :)
Where are you from?
From cruel Russia ...awww
moscowandy Argentinians are classier.
So why didn't the Dutch introduce it in Indonesia and Suriname? In Indonesia, trains drive on the right, like the Netherlands, but motor vehicles drive on the left!
@mikjon67 you remember your birth that is kind off disturbing :S
True of Suriname, not of Indonesia - only a very small part was British. The Batavian Republic changed in 1795 because it was a puppet state of France. The Dutch Caribbean drives on the right, though. Sweden had a referendum on changing sides in 1955, but people voted 'no', although there was quite a high abstention.
På radion spelades 'Håll dig till höger Svensson'.

Hur många olyckor hände den första tiden efter omställning det skulle vara intressant o veta?
Mycket mindre än dom räknat med har jag hört, sägaer jag, nu fem år senare...
@@MRmagicTT Bättre sent än aldrig, säger jag, nu 2 år senare...
I still want left driving since that was real Swedish. LOL
Nej tack
Speakern låter som Berndt Friberg kanske mer känd från tv-programmet Vi i Femman.
Interesting, this event is much talked about here in Sweden. It is natural today to drive on the right
.
It's not natural, it's the fucking law.
Haha, that's right, but it feels natural for us unless driving on the left side!
Wonder if the UK could hope to acheive such a feat :)
Considering they can't make a car to save their lives, maybe they'll have to.
daggertom1 the UK has autos with steering position on the right side while the Swedes had left hand drive so in my opinion it was easy in Sweden but the English would have a difficult time. :)
It most likely will never happen. Driving on the left is kinda their culture in a way and since everything is built around left driving, it would cost billions to change everything around.
Logistical nightmare
@radonas I should remember it... I was there!!! I don't remember your birth because I wasn't there! SIMPLE!!!!
We need to go back
JA!
No.
Why didn't do the change progressively? 😜
Jag är född då
ser dåtidens nyare första mustang typ 65 66 67 års model färg vit
hej
Min bror är född då
No arabs!
Ireland should do this.
No, DONT!
classisk svensk
Snart ska trögtänkta anglosaxare byta till h-trafik också :)
Så mycket traffik, idag är det knappt något fordon förutom kollektivtraffiken som rör sig runt Slussen...
Detta är intressant för det är tiden då Sverige slutade vara en demokrati eftersom en majoritet röstade nej till högertrafik ändå infördes det. Det är alltså politiker som bestämmer i Sverige inte folket. Detta betyder att även om 90% av befolkningen är emot något så kan politiker ändå inför det. Ganska tragiskt när man tänker på det.
Nej jag tror inte att det var en tragisk dag. Vad kan man säga annat än att förnuftet har segrat?
Rivero Montara jo men vi vann på högertrafik, mindre krockar etc.
WHY??? left hand driving is soo much better!!
Not with the steering wheel on the left :D
Because it made the traffic easier when crossing the borders of neighboring countries like Finland and Norway.
I said DROVE - past tense! India, Japan, Southern and Eastern Africa, most of Southeast Asia and Australasia drive on the left. They don't need that stupid Napoleonic practice.
¡¡¡Sos un imbécil!!!
Why? We voted against right-hand traffic. The swedish government sucks.
Left hand driving is better.
Dålig ändring.
JO men bilarna var ju designade för att köra på höger
Left hand traffic is so much better! I wish my country would drive like in the uk,japan etc
Majority of people are right handed which then makes right hand traffic more suitable as you want your strongest hand on the shifter.
lol wut. How weak is your non-dominant hand?
Most people are right-handed, consequently left-hand traffic is preferable because the strong hand ought to be on the steering wheel. Changing gears with the left hand is not a problem at all - millions of Brits and others do it every day!
RHD is much better. LHD sucks. Steer on the right looks ugly af as well
Before Islam.
