Norway - moving around the country
The terrain in most regions is very difficult, so on the way you will often find narrow tunnels, bridges and sharp turns. This is why it is necessary to strictly adhere to the speed regulations and pay close attention to the road signs. In Norway, there are huge fines for seat belt defaulters, as well as for driving in a state of intoxication. There is also taxi service in the country, but it is expensive. They can be stopped right on the street or ordered over the phone. As a rule, taxis work only within the boundaries of one city.
