Saab Flew in Front of Police Officer

Saab 9-3 Speed

This unfortunate event happened two days ago in Sweden. Irresponsible driver was on a two lane state highway in Sweden that had some nice long stretches that you could really “fly” down.

Right there was a Police Officer who controlled the speed of the cars.  Driveway was wet with melted snow and very slippery. A policeman with a handhed radar noticed the Saab 9-3 Sportsedan coming at a high speed – the device recorded incredible speed for these poor drive conditions – 137 kilometers per hour (85mph)!

The policeman tried to stop the frenzied Saab, He stepped out on a roadway waved his light stick, nd the car driver started braking. But, but the car slid and the car spun several times in the direction of vehicles coming from the opposite direction.

After stopping the vehicle, it turned out that the driver was a younger woman. Due to the gravity of the incident, the driver was imprisoned with the penalty of seizing a driver’s license and a fine of 3,600 Swedish kroner or $400.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
