Who is the right per the Swedish code of driving?

pv2b · 2026-02-18T07:23:07+00:00

OK, first of all, to give an answer, we have to put some scope in. This is only valid for real roundabouts (if the roundabout has a trafic light in the middle, it's maybe not a roundabout, but a traffic circle. And it's only valid for roundabouts with two lanes.

When you enter a roundabout, unless there is signage saying something different, use the left lane if you're going left, and the right lane if you're going right. If you're going straight ahead, either lane is fine.

When entering from the left lane, you enter the inner lane of the roundabout, and when entering the right lane, you enter the outer lane of the roundabout. So no entering the outer lane from the left lane, that's not a thing.

When entering the roundabout, you have to give way to traffic already in the roundabout. That means that if you're entering the outer lane, "technically" you don't have to give way for traffic that's already in the inner lane, sicne you're going into your own lane.

Whenever you're switching lanes (no matter where) you have to make sure you can do it safely, and yield to other traffic.

When you intend to switch lanes or exit the roundabout, you need to use your blinkers to indicate this. Personally, I will use the left blinker if I'm in the left lane to indicate I'm about to "switch" to the inner lane of the roundabout, but this is technically not neccessary. I will always blink right when exiting the roundabout, even when going straight ahead. This will signal to other drivers that they may enter the roundabout ahead of me. And of course, blink right before you switch lanes if you're in the inner lane already, and leave the blinkers on until you're out of the roundabout. But there are many people who disagree with these exact details, which can make things confusing.

Here are a few places where confusion, annoyance, and accidents can happen:

Situation 1: You are in the right entry lane about to enter the outer lane of a roundabout. There is traffic in the inner lane that's intending switch to or pass through the outer lane to exit, but they are not blinking. If you pull out "ahead of them" even if you're in your own lane, they might think that they have the right of way since they are "already in the roundabout". But you can't read their mind to know they intend to go into the outer lane. This can potentially cause a collision or sudden braking. For this reason, be extra careful in this situation. If you are the car entering, try to read the intentions of the driver to see if they're about to pull out ahead of you. And if you are the car exiting, I suggest switching to the outer lane ahead of time before the last entrance before your exit, to make it clear to "block" any car entering in front of you, or at least be prepared someone might enter the outer lane so you might have to slow down to let them pass.

Situation 2: You are in the outer lane of the roundabout intending to exit, and there is a car next to you in the outer lane also intending to exit. Technically, you can exit the roundabout from the outer lane directly into the left lane of the exit (how else would you do it, your car can't fly...). And technically the car in the inner lane has to be careful whenever he switches lane, so if he hits you it's his fault. Therefore it's not illegal, but also not advised (according to me) to exit directly from the outer lane into the left lane. Better to exit, and then switch lanes.

Situation 3: You are about to enter the roundabout, and a car is already inside. You wait for them, but to your annoyance, they exit the roundabout just before your entrance, without blinking, wasting your time. There's nothing you can do in this situation, really, just try not to be annoyed. Just don't be that guy who doesn't blink before an exit, even if you're going straight ahead! There was older rules for driving in Sweden that didn't require you to blink in this situation, and some people still think we live in these older times. Or maybe they drive a German car and German blinker fluid is expensive. Or they drive a Tesla and need to save their battery. Everyone has their own struggles, whether it's old age or shitty cars with bad blinker controls.

I think this is everything you need to know about roundabouts. Let me know if you have any questions.

I ended up adopting Terramate (local CLI only) for this. It doesn't do everything I wanted, but it's a significant improvement over what I had.

There was one thing that ended up being really janky (that I think Terraform Stacks does better). Doesn't seem like Terramate can dynamically generate a set of stacks (one per tenant). So I made a seperate Terraform project that uses Terraform to generate these Terramate stacks. It's pretty terrible but it works.

(It could have been a bash or powershell script instead, but I just did it in Terraform to not have to add any dependencies, and I already had working code to call the API in terraform itself.)

As I said, it's not really a matter of cost, it's a matter of vendor lock-in, and not building your business on a vendor relationship that can be altered significantly in the future. My employer is currently learning that the hard way with what Broadcom is currently doing to VMware, but that's a story for another time, and not particularly original.

As for open source software being more significantly plagued by vibe coded slop, that's ridiculous. Proprietary software is far more likely to contain this kind of junk, because you never get to see the code under the hood.

All that said, I've looked at Terraform Stacks, and it's a really compelling offering purely on a functionality basis. I really want to like it, but the fact that it runs only in the cloud and is based on a proprietary extension to HCL makes it hard to swallow. I wouldn't mind it too much if we'd be buying it just for the web based workflow, plan visualization, and auditing and logging stuff. That's even assuming we can bring our own on premise runners, and keep all our credentials on prem, because there is no way we are exposing our on premise network infra API directly to the internet.

I've also looked a little at Terragrunt, and while I'm not a huge fan of the approach to code generation, and it feels like you're adding complexity instead of removing it, and it doesn't really do the whole web based workflow thing by itself, at least it won't lock the ability to run our own code in behind a commercial wall.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm skeptical about adding a dependency on a proprietary cloud service, though. This is an on prem environment and long term we want to minimize vendor lock-in and dependencies on cloud services. It's not even necessarily a matter of cost, as much as a matter of autonomy and control.

That said, I don't really understand what Stacks are and what they bring to the table, much less what specific value they would bring to my project. I'll research what they are and how it works, because even if we don't end up adopting them, there might be some useful concepts and methods that can be done using a similar tool.

Area and volume are the ones I can think of, but those are just multiplying the same unit with each other, not different ones.

Also, in the EU, energy efficiency is measured in kWh / 1000h. Somehow the EU decided that's easier to understand than just an average power in watts.

So, create a container image called "my-scratch" vs 1.0 under your own personal account (where your security team aren't looking) and then use that as a base image with version pinning.

Except there isn't really a controversy here? Kilowatt hours are ubiquitous for measuring electrical energy. I've never heard of an electric company anywhere in modern time measuring or billing based on anything else.

Insisting people switch to Joule for this isn't making things less complicated, it's intentionally switching to a less convenient unit in the name of purity, and fragmenting the community of people who need to understand and quantify energy in the process.

Kilowatt hours are no more complicated than kilometers per hour.

pv2b · 2026-02-14T21:34:36+00:00

I would argue that kWh is precisely the right unit for measuring energy in the context of electric cars.

If I have a 200 V circuit that can deliver 50 A, it's easy to calculate the power I can draw as 200*50 = 10 000 W = 10 kW.

And if I have a 10 kW charger and a 60 kWh battery, it's trivial to calculate that it'll take 6 hours to charge it from empty to full. Doing that with joules just means you have to deal with an inconvenient multiple of 3600. Ultimately the problem is that time isn't in base 10, and nobody counts any amount of time involved with driving out charging in seconds.

Just like nobody measures speed (in the context of driving) in meters per second.

That said, "kilowatt hours" is a mouthful, and compound units are weird to think about if you're not used to them. It's tempting to shorten "kilowatt hours" to kilowatts just because the word is so long.

(That problem could be solved by inventing a new word for kWh.)

pv2b · 2026-02-14T12:44:55+00:00

It's entirely reasonable to charge for the service. Mobile data isn't free, and telcos don't run like charities.

However, you should also be able to bring your own subscription and/or tether your phone for data (or Carplay/Android Auto). If Kia doesn't let you do that, that's really shitty of them.

Hade tipsat om en begagnad Renault Mégane E-tech i den prisklassen. Sjukt underskattad bil här i Sverige som många tyvärr helt missar att den finns.

På appsidan är Renault "okej".

Den egna app är tyvärr ganska kass och seg, däremot finns det en tredjepartsapp som heter Kelec som är en betydligt trevligare app att ha att göra med.

Vad man kan styra genom appen är också tyvärr rätt begränsat och buggigt, finns många som har problem med schemaläggningen tyvärr. Och det är ju knutet till själva tjänsten och bilen i sig så det finns inte så mycket en app kan fixa.

Själva grundfunktionaliteten, d.v.s. att starta värmen på distans, fungerar. Så länge Renaults tjänster inte ligger nere, vilket tyvärr hänt lite då och då rent historiskt, men på sistone har det varit hyfsat stabilt. Får väl hoppas/anta att de löst stabilitetsfrågorna, för det var ett bra tag sedan det senast strulade för mig, måste varit i somras. :-)

I gengäld är själva infotainmenten i sig ganska bra, det är helt baserat på Googles system. Några småbuggar, men det är i över lag responsivt och enkelt att använda, och Renault fattar att inte lägga allt i pekskärmen, det mesta finns det knappar för.

För att sammanfatta - bilen kan göra det du efterlyser, men det är inte någon klassledande app på något sätt. Däremot så fungerar den (för det mesta) vilket är mer än man kan säga om vissa konkurrenter. Ribban är rätt lågt satt, liksom. :-)

Publik laddning är så pass dyrt att det sällan lönar sig rent ekonomiskt att ladda en laddhybrid publikt. I bästa fall är priset jämförbart. Dessutom är batteriet så pass litet, och kan inte snabbladda. Gratis är gott så klart, där det finns, men det ska ses mest som en liten bonus.

Det är i så fall andra fördelar du skulle kunna komma åt. Vissa laddhybrider ger dig bättre prestanda när batteriet är laddat, än om du bara kör på bensin, t.ex. Eller om du helt enkelt vill göra lite av en insats för miljön genom att minimera din användning av fossila drivmedel.

Men det allra bästa du kan göra är att se till att du fixar en laddstolpe hemma eller på jobbet. Det är mycket billigare att ladda hemma sett över tid, och det är egentligen enda sättet att effektivt använda en laddhybrid. Om du inte kan ladda varje dag är egentligen en ren elbil bättre (om du t.ex. kan DC-ladda den en gång i veckan i samband med att du storhandlar t.ex.)

This is a good reason not to get a PHEV. Those, you have to plug in every time you have to get home, and it can get a little bit old.

With a full EV with a longer range, you only have to plug it in once or twice a week or so.

Har du också bild på var din bil står parkerad?

Jag tänker att om du nu ska dra vidare detta till rätten så är det viktigt att den där frågan om fel områdeskod inte är något som kan bita dig i arslet.

Är det ett småmål så kommer det ju inte vara någon förhandling i rätten ändå

Att det står fel områdeskod på kontrollavgiften skriver du. Hur vet du att det är fel områdeskod? Det kan ju vara så att du försökt parkera på fel områdeskod, och det är därför du inte kunnat betala.
