[Healeys] Swedish Austin Healey Club Annual Meet

[Per Schoerner]

Hi
There were not many accidents. The first severe accident was on the 
Sunday afternoon, when a drunk driver was driving on the wrong side. He 
was severely injured.
There was a speed limit on 60 KPH (37 MPH) the first couple of days.
In Stockholm private traffic was forbidden from 1000 on saturday 2nd 
sptember 1967 to 1500 on sunday 3rd. Other places had other times of 
forbidden traffic.
All private traffic was forbidden between 0100 and 0600 on sunday 3rd.
All traffic stopped at 0450 and at 0500 it was allowed to continue. In 
those 10 minutes you were supposed to drive over to the other side, and 
remove the masking tape that was on your headlights, if you had 
assymetric headlights that is.

Per in Sweden
