Last Thursday the politician was stopped at a police checkpoint outside Hudiksvall. Police immediately confiscated Sjödin’s licence after she was caught driving at a speed of 105 kilometres per hour on a 70km/h stretch.
Police fined Sjödin 3,600 kronor and reported the incident to the county board, which will now decide how long the politician should be kept off the road.
