The Centre Party took the initiative to summon the Transport Agency, but according to C-member Ulrika Heie, there is complete agreement among the political parties in the traffic committee.

We are extremely surprised, from what we can understand from the media, how one relates to this. And we are of course eager to have direct communication with the agency, she says to TV4.

The Social Agency will also receive an invitation.

The Peth tests are a blood test intended to show if a person has too high an alcohol consumption.

The Transport Agency has been criticized for linking the right to hold a driving license to the Social Agency's guidelines on a maximum of ten standard glasses of alcohol per week. According to several media outlets, thousands of Swedes have lost their driving licenses after a doctor's visit – despite being sober at the wheel.
