On May 8, 2025, the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) confirmed it will continue revoking driver’s licenses based on assessments of alleged alcohol misuse, using the controversial PEth testing method, until new regulations are implemented. This decision follows a review prompted by thousands of license cancellations, with over 5,000 drivers affected in the past two years alone. The agency’s approach has sparked debate, and the issue may soon be examined by Sweden’s Supreme Administrative Court to determine the legality of the current practice. Meanwhile, advocates like Alexandra Loyd are pushing to halt the use of PEth tests, arguing for more accurate evaluation methods. Posts on X, such as from @HSJarrel, highlight calls for faster implementation of new rules to address the concerns, reflecting widespread public interest in reforming the license revocation process.
