Driving rules & facts

  1. Drive on the Right

    Norway drives on the right side of the road. Overtake only on the left. At unmarked intersections, yield to vehicles coming from the right (høyreregel / right-hand priority rule). This is one of the most commonly tested topics.

  2. BAC Limit 0.02% (0.2‰)

    One of the strictest alcohol limits in Europe. Novice drivers and professionals: zero tolerance. Penalties are income-based and escalate with BAC level. >0.5‰: licence loss 12–18 months. >0.8‰: court case and possible imprisonment. >1.2‰: unconditional imprisonment. Drug-driving has the same penalties.

  3. AutoPASS Electronic Toll

    Over 400 automated toll points nationwide — no manual booths. AutoPASS tag gives 20% discount. Without tag: highest rate + invoice fees. Rush-hour surcharges in cities (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim). Zero-emission vehicles pay up to 50% of standard rate with AutoPASS. Motorcycles are exempt.

  4. Winter Tyres (Vinterdekk)

    Winter tyres must match conditions from November 1 to first Sunday after Easter Monday. Northern Norway (Nordland, Troms, Finnmark): October 16 to April 30. Minimum 3mm tread depth. Crashing without proper winter tyres: insurance can deny the entire claim. Studded tyres need city fees in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim.

  5. Mandatory Headlights

    Dipped/low-beam headlights are mandatory at ALL times — day and night, year-round. This has been Norwegian law since 1985. Right-hand-drive vehicles must use beam converters to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.

  6. Mandatory Equipment

    All vehicles must carry a warning triangle and a reflective safety vest. These must be deployed at any breakdown or accident scene. Third-party insurance (trafikkforsikring) is mandatory. Recommended: first aid kit, spare bulbs, tow rope.

Tips for choosing a driving school in Norway

  1. Compare prices from at least 3 schools before enrolling. The cheapest option is not always the best — check what is included in the package.
  2. Ask schools about their pass rates. A higher pass rate often indicates better instruction quality.
  3. If Norway's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
