Swedish Courage
The operation of a motor vehicle, specifically an upscale sedan, in a questionably aggressive manner through a false sense of security, in the mistaken belief that advanced restraint, steering, braking and/or suspension systems and higher chassis build quality will permit the driver to escape collision or injury.
The term apparently originates from the emphasis on safety in Volvo's ongoing advertising campaign.
