Driving and drinking do not mix, and especially so in Norway. Alcohol laws are very strict, and penalties from driving under the influence are severe. The legal limit is 0,02% blood alcohol and applies to the driver of any motorized vehicle. Medications to avoid if you intend to drive are marked with a red triangle.
Brakes may overheat at long downhill stretches. To avoid this, drive in a low gear. Eventual braking will require less force and brakes will stay cool. When driving uphill, watch the car’s temperature gauge to avoid engine overheating in time.
In 2018, more than 140,000 electric cars were driving on Norwegian roads. Norwegian authorities are investing massively in electric vehicle-friendly infrastructure and incentives. Quick charge stations are being built in increasing numbers on long distances between bigger cities. More and more hotels offer electric charging, sometimes for free. Plug-in hybrids are also benefitting from advantages over traditional drivelines.
Norwegian registration plates indicating the EV or plug-in driveline are mandatory in order to use devoted parking spaces and other special facilities. Rules and conditions are constantly changing. For help and updated information, please contact the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association: +47 907 04 545.
In case of a breakdown or an accident, all vehicles must have at least one high-visibility vest, a warning triangle, and third-party insurance.
Emergency telephones can be found on mountain stretches and in tunnels. For 24 hour salvage or technical assistance, three of the largest roadside assistance companies in Norway are:
NAF: (+47) 23 21 31 00
Falck: (+47) 02 222
Viking: (+47) 06 000
Dipped headlights are mandatory at all times, even in the middle of the brightest summer day. This includes mopeds and motorcycles. If your car is a right-hand drive, you must use black triangles on your headlights to avoid dazzling other drivers.
Note that weather conditions can cause mountain passes to close, especially during heavy snow and strong wind. Some of the higher mountain passes can get snowfall and frost when there are summer conditions in the lowlands, particularly in April/May and September/October.
