For the residents of Stora Blåsjön, it has become a long way to the nearest car inspection. An appeal started in Arjeplog to bring back the inspection is welcomed in the area. In the clip, some local residents tell how far they have to drive.


On January 1, 2021, Bilprovningen ceased its mobile operations in Sweden, which, among other things, served Gäddede there when vehicle owners in Frostviken could go to inspect their vehicles.

- It was great, says Thomas Thomasson, who lives in Storviken outside Stora Blåsjön.

They were here for several days in the shock.

Now the nearest car inspection is in Strömsund, 18 miles from Stora Blåsjön.

In June, Helen Sterner in Arjeplog started a call on Facebook in protest against the fact that seven towns in the country have been without car testing since last year.

Residents from Särna in the south to Karesuando in the north have signed the petition, so also in Frostviken.
