Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Note that local drivers do not like “racers” and sly motorists. You should not expect that they will give you way. Bypassing a traffic jam is virtually impossible, and overtaking is possible only in case the road is relatively free.
The inability of local drivers to drive backwards is another important feature of traffic in the country. Of course, this applies not to all motorists, but it is still recommended not to drive close to a car that moves backwards in order to turn or leave a parking space.
The roads in Norway are very narrow. Even roads that belong to the “E” category usually have just two lanes. The roads with two lanes in each direction are quite rare in the country, and there are no more than ten roads in Norway with 3 - 4 lanes in one direction.
