What does probationary period mean?

After you have obtained your driver's license, your trial period begins. This means, among other things, that you can lose your driver's license more easily, so make sure to follow the rules.

All new driving licence holders in Sweden receive a trial period of two years. Probationary period means that if you are guilty of any offence during this two-year period that leads to the withdrawal of your driving licence, you must take a new driving licence test before you can get your driving licence back (knowledge test and driving test).
