Sweden is striving to become a nation with 'zero traffic deaths', with careful design at every step from transportation infrastructure to driver's license examinations. Prospective drivers must complete a risk training course before obtaining a license, focusing on handling wet roads and simulating scenarios where animals might unexpectedly cross their paths.

The Swedish government has pursued the vision of zero traffic deaths since 1997, adhering to three main principles: firstly, the responsibility for safety lies in the design and maintenance of the transportation system; secondly, respect for other road users and correct adherence to traffic rules are essential; and thirdly, design should compensate for the limited abilities and knowledge of road users.

Tinvel, the former head of traffic safety at the Swedish Transport Administration, states: "Every accident leading to serious injury or death is unique and requires careful examination to identify problems and propose solutions." Although Sweden has not yet fully achieved this zero vision, the number of traffic fatalities has significantly decreased, from 591 in 2000 to 227 today, with the aim of reaching zero by 2050.

The rigorous training for obtaining a driver's license, particularly the risk management training, plays a crucial role. Students learn through simulations under the guidance of professional instructors, aiming to help learners make the safest decisions in dangerous situations involving sudden obstacles such as animals or children.
