78% of people over 18 have a drivers license (B).
The remaning 22% include those who cant afford it, dont want it, are yet to get it (not everyone feels the need to get it the day they turn 18) or have little use for it (like living in inner stockholm and using public transportation.
Lets estimate 5% are yet to get it, 5% cant afford it and 5% dont need it. That leaves 7% that try but fail to get it.
That would mean around 11 out of 12 people who want a drivers license eventually get it, likley higher percentage that try and pass. Ceirtantly not a scam,

Anyone want to try a different approach?

We have now booked and paid for 27 lessons and kn addition I have given my kid 5 hours a week of lessons myself for 6 months. And, I’m not sure if she will pass next week. The driving instructors are slack, they talk about their home life, are on their tablets, taking phone calls, get her to ”warm up” the car for them etc. And, they spend most time driving to an exercise, do it twice and say, now do it at home with your parents. It’s a scam for sure. We’ve spent over 40,000 sek and put on major work ourselves, I’m absolutely horrified.
I hope you try a different instructor or school, don’t settle for someone who isn’t invested in actually teaching your daughter how to drive.
Bear in mind you have to pay under the table in Romania. May be no longer cheaper than getting a license in Sweden.
Hi all,
I’m the original author.
Sorry for the late update.
I got my license and been driving.
If you choose this approach, I have another tip for you.
When you get the Romania license, do not immediately convert to Swedish license.
Your foreign license is valid 1 year after you change residency back to Sweden.
If you keep the Romania license, you do not have to worry the first year of the 2 year trial period.
You’ll still get a fine for things like speeding, but nothing will happen to your license.
Good luck and have fun

Hey all,
Wow, this thread really blew up! Here are some updates.
I’m currently in Romania. I just returned from my hometown and am now preparing to convert my driver’s license to a Romanian one.
For those considering doing the same, there are two main scenarios:
1. If you possess a Swedish/EU passport: You can easily travel to Romania and register your residence. The process is simple and straightforward. However, before making the move, I recommend obtaining a driver’s license in another country. You can then convert this license. Alternatively, you can also take a driver’s test in Romania. From what I’ve gathered, the process can be much simpler than in Sweden.
2. If you don’t have a Swedish passport: Don’t worry, you’re still in a good position. In this case, you can head to your home country to obtain a driver’s license, which is the route I took. Subsequently, I enrolled in a university program in Romania, allowing me to secure a local residence permit.
For those considering obtaining a non-EU license first and then converting it to a Romanian one, I suggest checking the following list to ensure your country is recognized: legislatie.just.ro/Public/DetaliiDocumentAfis/161846
Don’t hesitate! If you haven’t spent much in Sweden, this approach could be more cost-effective. I’ve heard of many who’ve spent over 30K SEK without achieving their goal.
Think of it as an extended trip. Romania is a delightful country to spend a few months in, with most things being quite affordable.
To all the haters on this thread: Ultimately, it’s my choice on how I get my license. Soon enough, I’ll be enjoying the Swedish roads. Wish me well! As for eco-friendly driving – f**k it!
Best of luck, everyone!
