In 2009, living in Norway and earning good money, I wanted to “pick up” my driving school project. So I contacted a driving school in Sweden near by the border, Karlstad so it wouldn’t be so expensive to get there and back.
It started good and I learned fast. Had to take some extra driving lessons in the city area cause I hated to driving in a city and had not so much experience of it. I had been driving with my mother for years and new most of those roads back and forwards ^^haha^^. But driving in a city center with my mother wasn’t fun so I didn’t choose that if I could.
So in 2009, I just had to do it. But with a good driving teacher I fixed it. 🙂 I got so far in the whole “project” that I was signed up to do the written test – the Theory test – but then suddenly the Tax authorities of Sweden said “NO you can’t, because you haven’t lived in Sweden for the past 6 months”. This was wierd for me, cause I knew other people had done the same thing and were aloud to do everything. I was frustrated. So everything I had done felt like I just throwen everything out in the thin air. I was upset, frustrated and sad. I was so close to finish what I started ten years back. Bureaucracy.
So I said “Fine. I put this on the shelf to the Lord and He will show me when it time.”
In 2019 – ten years later – my father told me he had been digging in this issue and told me the Tax Authorities had been wrong oversteped their own rules. Can you understand how much more frustrated I felt then???? At this point I just didn’t want to do a thing more about this license. This has become one of the reasons towards Sweden why I really don’t want to be a citisens of Sweden anymore I am sick of all the lies they tell people.
