I would say that what's making the traffic dangerous here in Stockholm 
is the biker. It's very often they don't care about the traffic rules 
and laws. They running red lights, they run up on the sidewalk to cut 
corners and avoid red lights. In Sweden, by law, vehicles have to stop 
for pedestrians about to cross a crosswalk without lights. I have never 
in my life seen a bike do that.
