Amazing video and I enjoyed the beautiful scereny. In my humble opinion the norwegian drivers are a lot better than those drivers in stockholm you usually show us :-D
Wonderful landscapes, wow. But you seem to be ways hypersensitive if you say there is anything outrageous in this video. Bro, do not ever attempt to drive in eastern or southern Europe - you'd get a heart attack on your very first journey:-)
+Gyula PANCZEL I'm not saying that all of these drivers are bad, just wanted to show the driving experience in Norway. I have driven in Poland and Spain too, and I'm still alive ;) Watch my regular videos from Stockholm if you want more action :P
+Dashcam Stockholm Greetings from Poland! :) Great video and beautiful landscapes. I can say that driving in Poland is not that bad, we have built a lot of new roads and the "driving culture" has really improved. So no worries :) Last year I was driving in Lisbon and I was shocked ;) Almost no rules ;)
2:33 is actually legal. It's not a roundabout, there are no signs to indicate that it is and no road markings. Besides, cars often park on the other side making it impossible to drive there.
2:35 er ikke skiltet som rundkjøring (rondell), så her var det ikke feil kjøring. Ellers er det ikke stort mer enn man må håndtere og ta på sparket. man kan aldri kjøre feilfritt hele tiden.
+Wijanarkoski Yp It's like that all over the west side of norway due to it all being freakin mountains with fjords right next to them. All the roads have to be carved out of the side of the mountain and so it's hard to make em wide
In many places on the west coast it is easier to travel around by boat, such as living on Vartdalsfjorden and boating up to Alesund, which is actually faster by boat because a lot of times you have to wait for the ferry at Festoya.
I really do prefer Norway's use of the yellow line like we have in Canada. I often find it hard to tell the direction of traffic when all lines are white :S Looks like you a great trip-it's on my bucket list :)
CptSchmidt The yellow lines do make it 100% clear at all times where you should be on the road so yeah, I agree, even though I've never encountered any problem around it driving in Sweden. Maybe that's just because I'm used to the white lines, but it's interesting to hear an outside perspective. Very beautiful roads and places, I can highly recommend it :)
thedll1 I just got back from the UK for three weeks, and they have all white lines too. I never had any problems there (and they drive on the left, so it's even more to worry about), but whenever I second guessed myself, I found all the white confusing. I asked my family how they tell the difference and they said they never get confused, so I guess it comes down to what you're used to and how you learned :)
They tryed to go white only some years ago, to save some money. Mutch noise and discusion (-Sp?). I like the yellow line, year around, but in the winter it`s realy good (- most road-marking masked by snow and ice, yellow stands out ). As a former ambulance-crew, -good "extra info", in a split-second. Makes roads a little bit safer IMO. ExEMTNor
Heeey... I watched the Roadkill guys go to Canada... not much of a border control there either. I guess it depends a bit on what country is on the other side of the border....
Thanks for the video. I always wondered if it's allowed from our system (Norway / Sweden) to show the number from the car that they made a mistake? Because as i understood that we are not allowed to show the car number or a person to be recognized! in other way we can't do as USA/Russian do :) Hope i am wrong. Please let me know if someone has a good answer. Thanks
Watching this i'm somewhat confused, most these things aren't even bad drivers, but mostly you complaining about narrow roads. What do you expect the meeting cars to do? take flight? Though the bad overtakes i can agree on, always have sight over what coems towards you when overtaking. And that parked camper in the middle of the road... looked like it had SD plates... which means they're from my town... but camper van drivers are idiots most the time anyway. :P
+VampyrMygg when you have narrow roads with what looks like reststops on the side, those roads are actualy one-way. whoever is between the two stops has the right a-away. so both he and the meeting drivers did wrong in this vid.
+Mattis vik It's usually not that simple, as the M marked spots are far between if the road is that narrow to need those. and usually they don't fit trucks/semis.
At 2:38 you see a shared space intersection. It's not actually a roundabout, though it may look like it, it has no yield sign or roundabout sign. People are very confused here, but you can turn both to the let and right in this intersection.
Nah, he's not. But *our* standards those are **bad** drivers. Some of those drivers could have landed in jail if caught doing what they did by the police. Mind you, Norway has what's probably the strictest road laws in Europe (if not the world). Expect to end up in jail for speeding, driving under the influence (even if you haven't had anything since last night) or in any other way misbehaving in the traffic. Norways goal is *zero* deaths in traffic, and they take that goal serious.
@@Luredreier, zero deaths from traffic accidents is an impossible dream for most countries, I know European traffic rules, and presume Scandinavian countries have the same. I think recording drivers clip lines on a highway is an exaggeration and waste of time as that's in "insignificant offense", most of the presented situations were manageable and accident risks could be easily mitigated.
@@M0N33R Norway is damned closed though. 3 traffic fatalities pr 100 000 vehicles in Norway vs 14.2 in the US for instance. It's the lowest of all the countries listed in that wiki article (at least one of those countries where above 1 000 road fatalities pr 100 000 vehicles). While accidents can't be entirely avoided accepting them as inevitable just isn't acceptable. There's *always* something that can be done. We can learn from the mistakes here, and you might think of them as "insignificant" but they're not to us. As for our laws... www.speedingeurope.com/norway/ www.speedingeurope.com/theburger/ You get a speed ticket if you drive more then 3 km/h above the speed limit, among other things... You need to stop for traffic from the right almost everywhere, even when you're on a main road and you're encountering a small road etc... I suggest that you read through those two sites and some of the links from those sites you'll find there. While *similar* to other European countries the country merits a detailed study of the laws and absolute *best* behavior at **all** times.
You were in Norway and didn't come to northern part? :) I didn't know there was that narrow roads anywhere still, but probably there are main roads that have replaced most of them. I still do not understand why so many drivers are driving just in the middle of the road over hills and blind corners, but there are a lot of those expecting all other traffic to either move very slowly or just move away when they appear. Even when there are marked lines some drivers just have to cut the corners even when there are no visibility ahead.
Bodø Dashcam I would love to go to the northern parts, Norway is a big country so we didn't have the time this trip. Hopefully some other time :) The roads around the Oslo area where very good (most of them where toll roads though), as you came closer to the coast the roads became more narrow and winding, which is understandable due to the mountains. Most roads where wide enough to meet another car, only in a few places we encountered roads with meeting places, and we didn't always drive on the main roads so that might be an explanation. Yeah, cutting over on the wrong side like that is so stupid and I encountered a lot of them for some reason.
thedll1 I can understand that :) It is terrible long drive from south to north, and especially when driving on the E6. The road is just terrible crowded during the summer months. The roads around Oslo is really good, and now that they decided to test 110-limits it has been a little bit easier to drive there too, as the traffic gets less compressed into queues. .. and toll roads are everywhere from north to south, and now that they can create toll stations just by having a couple of cameras and a radio transmitter for the autopass system and no people at the stations they gets places everywhere, like inside town streets, on- and off-ramps, etc. driving across the country is getting very expensive.
Bodø Dashcam Yeah I can imagine that the E6 is very crowded in the summer. No wonder you see so many Norwegian cars travelling on the E4 instead :) Oh so the 110-limit is new? I only saw one pretty short stretch of 110-limit road, the rest were 100. Especially on the motorways there were toll after toll after toll. Very expensive if you have to drive there often!
just got my licence and on my first trip after work i decided to do some small road driving on my way back i had a guy blast past me in aprox 50km/h 5m in front of a meeting spot. since it was my first trip it felt like there was 50cm of space when i was all the way to my side. my tyre was prolly 1/3 off the side of the road but he still managed to scratch my mirror :'(
2:00 there are indeed many people making that mistake and then going over the curb back onto the road at this point; However I don't really see the point of driving all the way downtown when you can as well take a bus or train Tbh sometimes you simply need to lean back and chill, like at 7:30 even though he's on your side, he didn't endanger you and it's plain normal that it happens on hairpin turns on steep slopes. You even have to be flexible enough to switch from driving on the right to driving on the left when there are e.g. buses or trucks in oncoming traffic; See, after passing the car at minute 8 you don't get all the way over on your side either and it wasn't a problem, right?! On my 11.000 km roadtrip this summer I came across only 4 (!) bad drivers while driving through Norway. It was relaxing and nice to drive there
I love how he basically says that these "bad drivers" are outrageous, but calls it a little "personal mistake" when he's driving on the wrong side of the fucking road
@13:04 There is a big misunderstanding in low level drivers that the left lane has something to do with the speed limit. The left lane is for passing. You were blocking the left lane without passing.
+CptSchmidt It's because he is soooo nit-picking, that it is just utterly annoying. LIke there's nothing happening. He's making it out to come accross like he is THE driver, and that's plainly unsympathic. Nobody likes a Know-It-All.
+americanstylefreak When did he ever cast himself as a know-it-all? Maybe if you checked out his channel before making crap up, you'd see that he's got dozens of videos from Stockholm of terrible driving. These videos are educational and help people see how bad road behaviour affects everyone.
+americanstylefreak "Know-It-All" Did you even read the description? "All drivers in this video are not necessarily bad. I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone and I'm definitely not a perfect driver myself."
Norsk radio: "Varning för en bilist på E6 som kör på fel sida i riktning mot Oslo!" Dashcam Stockholm: "En? Det är ju tusentals...." (Gammal klassiker...)
2:34 That is actually not a roundabout, but rather "simply" a two way circular road. So you actually have to yield for people coming from your right. Pretty much only locals (those who drive there every day) know this.
nortex010 Ah, I though there was something weird about it, my GPS called it a roundabout and it looked like one, so I was really confused when that car drove on the wrong side like that. But there where no roundabout signs so I guess you are right.
With such beautiful scenery as your country boasts no wonder most of your drivers are distracted. Mist covered mountains, enchanted forests, avantguard architecture in the cleanest cities in the world.
+John Smith America produces a lot of good music that becomes popular all around the world. I think America and the UK are the world's biggest music exporters.
@8:11 Yea the rules are if you are parked on a blind corner and you pass the vehicle that parked and get into an accident with on coming vehicle the Driver that parked is responsible even if its fatal but most people in other country's don't seem to care if someone gets hurt or not just like hitting the cyclist
When I rode my motorcycle through Norway, it amazed me how low the speed limits are and how slow everyone travels. I got beeped when I overtook cars at 100km/h (cars doing 75km/h in the countryside). Goodness know what they thought when I shot past at 140km/h north of Oslo (O-Slow).
pilninggas Then where did you go? I've never met any problem with going abobe the speed limits, and if the speed limit is 70 most prople drive 10-20km/h above, at least where I drive
There's no problem going fast, as long as you know where the police usually hang out. I usually drive 150-200 km/hr on highways and 100-120 on countreyside roads (unless there are too many curves and I don't know the road). I feel as long as you have control and don't pose any danger to other people there's no problem going fast. Old people might get a little scared when you takeover in double speed though. A lot of the roads are not that great (tiny, curvy, shitty quality) due to the terrain and I'd guess that's the reason for the low speed limits.
Ja, men det er ikke bare svensker som blir forvirret av det krysset der. De burde helt klart gjort det til en offisiell rundkjøring, med skilter og full pakke.
Det som slår mig när jag ser den här videon är hur sagolikt vackert Norge är, men det är inte konstigt att vägarna är som dom är med tanke på landskapet dom har.
Thanks for the video of your trip. The scenery is just fantastic, the roads look pretty good and the drivers were pretty good as well. In my country, Australia, we have very many impatient drivers, not so many sheep on the road, but lots of kangaroo and cattle on the roads in the country.
+Ron Dekker Thanks for watching! I agree, beautiful scenery, pretty narrow and winding roads for the most and yes, pretty harmless drivers. I usually drive in Stockholm, a lot of impatient drivers there as as well. I would love to see a kangaroo in real life :D I really want to go to Australia sometime!
I see one bad driver except for a few situations, yourself! Narrow roads, use your brakes... In a city, be aware that people will jaywalk (walk on red) and adapt your speed... The overtakes were fine except for the merc and the van passing the honda. You need to learn how to drive on narrow roads. The VW passat coming through the fog was not a problem whatsoever, he saw your lights and pulled back into his lane.
Nice video... There are some terrible drivers here, and I am particularly annoyed with those asshats who call or text/fb/instgram/whatever while driving... You can see it from miles away, they are crossing lanes, braking hard and unexpectedly and failing for follow traffic... Worst part is that they do not seem to realize what's going on around them.
Well all of the "BAD" drivers a doing mistakes EVERYONE can, have or will make at some point. Come on man! Another guy who thinks there are robots driving these cars.
What a beautiful rugged country!! Its my dream to visit Northern Europe and especially Norway. It is just a snapshot of how beautiful and wild Europe must have been up un till the medieval ages when it was lost to the industrial revolution..
Thanks for sharing. Norway looks awesome! I want to go there. Even the taxi drivers are nice, taxi drivers in Seattle are worst than drunk drivers, never know what kind of crazy manoeuvres they will do just to pick up customers.
Norway is the safest country in the world to drive in. If you don't count micro countries like Maldives, San Marino. www.dangerousroads.org/rankings23/6070-the-world-s-safest-countries-to-drive.html
Well worth doing in a RV. There's some videos on here with people driving here in that kind of vehicles that I think you'll like. =) It's also a way of cutting costs. If you rent a RV in Finland or Sweden and then drive through Norway buying food in grocery stores and preparing it in the RV you can keep your expenses relatively low while also getting a good view of the country and a feel for the people. =)
***** There are actually several sheep farms in the geater Stockholm area but thankfully the sheeps are behind fences and not running around in traffic. :)
Do this in France for a few hours and you'll have 3 times more content. Most people here drive like ass holes (they're kissing your back all the time and passing at the most dangerous places. I've seen many many very close calls..
+HorizonExer He changed with less then half a second between us, too close in my opinion. If there where cars behind him in the left lane that wanted to overtake it would've made sense to change that close, not in this situation.
If the streets from Norge to small for you please stay at home! Sorry but most scens are without a problem! Where´s the problem at 13:25 for example? Please visit germany, belgium, france, italy, spain, portugal or eastern europe. That is many times "bad driving"! But you driving in a good area without problems.
+NorgeChris I was going on a trip to Norway and wanted to make a video on what driving is like there, and I only got minor "bad" driving on tape which is a good thing don't you think? Take the video as something positive. Watch my other videos if you want more "action". 13:25 As I said in the video, he changed lanes with less than 1 second distance between us which was unnecessary without any car behind him that wanted to overtake.
+Dashcam Stockholm I noticed you said it while you were driving on the new road to Hamar beside Mjøsa. It's like over 100 kr one way. I pay 46 kr every time I want to drive into Oslo. It's expensive, but beautiful. I am really happy you liked Norway. Welcome back :)
+Carlern We do have tolls around Stockholm so i'm kinda used to them already, however i'm not used to toll after toll after toll on roads in the middle of nowhere, but I guess the beautiful views makes up for it ;) I would love to visit Norway again, but this time go to the northern parts :)
Yes, there's controls at the border, but not so much between Sweden and Norway, since both countries are a part of the nordic passport union, meaning that the only things checked there is cargo etc, since there's tariffs on importing food among other things from the EU and different laws for things like medication etc. For one moment I thought you where talking about fox news style fake news though...
dude... maybe 2-3 of them could be considered "bad drivers". I haven't seen any dangerous overtaking, no road blocking and no cutting you off. The scenery is amazing!
+kaiserkarl2 Sometimes the roads are hundreds of years old, and they're not allowed to make it wider because of who owns the land on each side of the road + sometimes it's roads that are hardly ever used. It is fairly normal to have roads that are less than 5 meters wide. That's why there's M - meeting points, where cars can meet and let each other pass.
Alot of this is just normal in Norway. In Oslo, pedrestrians are the worst to follow light signals or even road signals, bikers are even worse. And all the campers in the mountains usually comming from countries with autobahn, so they piss themselves when a car comes their way so one just have to be patient. As a former semi trucker, people just can't stand remaining behind something, specially if it is bigger than its own car. And speed limits to some are just a guideline, because the time they usually fail to gather is more precious than security of others. Welcome to Norway søte bror.
1:51 Do you have to stop for pedestrians in Sweden/Norway? they were probably tourists who thought you had to stop for them also 8:56 looked alot like the Road to Hana in Maui :D 9:55 is literally what New Yorkers do lmao
I am driving a BMW coupé and no one ever drives up close behind me. I guess it's their skin-deepnes that makes them suspect an antisocial jerk behind the wheel of the BMW who better is not to be messed with.
A basic guide to drive properly in a Norwegian city: 1. Sell your car and begin walking due to all restrictions, guidelines, taxes, fuel costs, fees and all the time you spend trying to understand how to drive properly in a given city
Slik føreren gjør ved 7:15 er faktisk akkurat slik man lærer å foreta forbikjøringer på norske kjøreskoler idag. Kjørelæreren min sa det var helt ok å gjør slik, for hvordan ellers skal man kunne bli helt sikker på om kursen er fri? :) // What the driver does at 7:15 is actually exactly how they teach us to make passes at Norwegian drving schools these days. My teacher said it was totally fine to check like that, because how else am I supposed to be 100% sure the road is clear? :)
All in all, not too shabby! I wanted to see how we Norwegians fared here on bad drivers, and coming from 2 hours of bad american drivers on youtube this seems pretty harmless. I've heard lots of swedes complain over our narrow roads, and for that I am sorry! :p
They look mostly good drivers compared to the UK/Japan/China. UK drivers are ignorant to other people; Japanese drivers are incredibly aggressive towards other people; and China is a nice strong mix of both.
Just did 500k in Hordaland in a rented Toyota. I was definitely the worst driver out there. Norske are all about fast and precise driving. I counted it a good day when I didn't get honked at. Those two-laners that become one-laners are definitely nerve wracking.
At 6:00 mins in the video ,the sheeps are crossing which I think is rare in Norway but if you drive in India you i am sure u will be fed up because in India most of the cattles especially the cows are set free on the roads and you can find them even on the highways......Anyways i think its peaceful in Noway!!!!
hey though these are very common factors,yet i feel that you country is really beautiful....India is too good in the other aspects but very few Indians follow traffic sense which u would find it very amusing if u find them following.....
If I made a compilation of all of the worst driving, and all the worst roads, I see in a year it would probably be something like this (norwegian here). I'm frankly impressed of the amount of stuff you encountered in one trip; some of those stretches of road are just terrible. Like that bridge that only fits one car at a time in the middle of a curve for instance; there might have been a warning sign for that earlier that we didn't see in the video, but frankly there should be 10... and a guy communicating it by interpretive dance on the side of the road. Or better yet; build a proper freaking bridge instad of half of one. I guess that's Norwegian country roads for ya' -.-
Not that bad driving, just returned from a roadtrip to Croatia. I don't miss Polish drivers at all. BTW Norway is really nice, but Croatia might be even more nice. Well, the weather was better, at least.
Dashcam Estonia Nope not that bad. Norway is basically like Sweden when it comes to driving. Oh haha, I've been to Poland a few times and I agree. The overtakes you see there are unique. :P I can imagine Croatia is very beautiful.
Most of the video wasn't his country, he's Swedish, most of the video took place in Norway, a country bordering Sweden but still a different country. As for the "same difference" part, let's just say that Norway has the strictest road laws in Europe and possibly the world with jail time for things that wouldn't even cause you to get a fine in a lot of other countries, and with requirements for the drivers license that makes the drivers license in some US states seem like it's given away without testing *anything*. The US is of course huge so there's a lot of difference within the country. But there's a reason why the US drivers license isn't valid in Norway other then as a short tourist grace period thing. Drivers in some parts of the US are as bad Europeans from southern and eastern Europe and are in no way, shape or form comparable with Norwegian drivers. Others are roughly on par with us, depending on the state, possibly even exceeding us in certain ways.
Wonderful country, very good drivers. Got no problems, even on very narrow streets. A problem are only the camping mobiles and their drivers, who study the landscape, not the streets before them. If you want a lot of idiots on the streets, come to Germany and study the phenomenon.
Australians have the same problem with kangaroos, just like the sheep in the video. The kangaroos hang around the edges of the roads to eat the wild flowers that the government planted to make the highways more beautiful. The problem is that they can weigh 90 kg.
Hahaha kul att hon sjunger "du måste flytta på dig" i låten vid 9:56. Passar väldigt bra i klippet! :D

www.speedingeurope.com/theburger/
You get a speed ticket if you drive more then 3 km/h above the speed limit, among other things...
You need to stop for traffic from the right almost everywhere, even when you're on a main road and you're encountering a small road etc...
I suggest that you read through those two sites and some of the links from those sites you'll find there.
While *similar* to other European countries the country merits a detailed study of the laws and absolute *best* behavior at **all** times.
You were in Norway and didn't come to northern part? :) I didn't know there was that narrow roads anywhere still, but probably there are main roads that have replaced most of them. I still do not understand why so many drivers are driving just in the middle of the road over hills and blind corners, but there are a lot of those expecting all other traffic to either move very slowly or just move away when they appear. Even when there are marked lines some drivers just have to cut the corners even when there are no visibility ahead.
Bodø Dashcam I would love to go to the northern parts, Norway is a big country so we didn't have the time this trip. Hopefully some other time :) The roads around the Oslo area where very good (most of them where toll roads though), as you came closer to the coast the roads became more narrow and winding, which is understandable due to the mountains. Most roads where wide enough to meet another car, only in a few places we encountered roads with meeting places, and we didn't always drive on the main roads so that might be an explanation. Yeah, cutting over on the wrong side like that is so stupid and I encountered a lot of them for some reason.
thedll1 I can understand that :) It is terrible long drive from south to north, and especially when driving on the E6. The road is just terrible crowded during the summer months. The roads around Oslo is really good, and now that they decided to test 110-limits it has been a little bit easier to drive there too, as the traffic gets less compressed into queues. .. and toll roads are everywhere from north to south, and now that they can create toll stations just by having a couple of cameras and a radio transmitter for the autopass system and no people at the stations they gets places everywhere, like inside town streets, on- and off-ramps, etc. driving across the country is getting very expensive.
Bodø Dashcam Yeah I can imagine that the E6 is very crowded in the summer. No wonder you see so many Norwegian cars travelling on the E4 instead :) Oh so the 110-limit is new? I only saw one pretty short stretch of 110-limit road, the rest were 100. Especially on the motorways there were toll after toll after toll. Very expensive if you have to drive there often!
Jag utgår från att köra från Sverige till Norge behöver du inte visa ditt pass?
+Darren Boss Nope det slipper man, det är bara att köra förbi gränsen, trots att Norge inte är med i EU.
Thanks!
The worst driving was done by the uploader himself 😂
just got my licence and on my first trip after work i decided to do some small road driving on my way back i had a guy blast past me in aprox 50km/h 5m in front of a meeting spot. since it was my first trip it felt like there was 50cm of space when i was all the way to my side. my tyre was prolly 1/3 off the side of the road but he still managed to scratch my mirror :'(
2:00 there are indeed many people making that mistake and then going over the curb back onto the road at this point; However I don't really see the point of driving all the way downtown when you can as well take a bus or train
Tbh sometimes you simply need to lean back and chill, like at 7:30 even though he's on your side, he didn't endanger you and it's plain normal that it happens on hairpin turns on steep slopes. You even have to be flexible enough to switch from driving on the right to driving on the left when there are e.g. buses or trucks in oncoming traffic; See, after passing the car at minute 8 you don't get all the way over on your side either and it wasn't a problem, right?!
On my 11.000 km roadtrip this summer I came across only 4 (!) bad drivers while driving through Norway. It was relaxing and nice to drive there
6:35 Gangs of the streets of Norway..
I love how he basically says that these "bad drivers" are outrageous, but calls it a little "personal mistake" when he's driving on the wrong side of the fucking road
12:50
@13:04 There is a big misunderstanding in low level drivers that the left lane has something to do with the speed limit. The left lane is for passing. You were blocking the left lane without passing.
Was worth watching just for the gorgeous scenery albeit the bad drivers... would love to visit Norway some time
Liam S It really was beautiful. I might upload another timelapse video with more beautiful scenery :)
Came back to watch again... what's with all the dislikes???
+CptSchmidt I guess the video went a little viral and a bunch of haters popped in :P
+CptSchmidt It's because he is soooo nit-picking, that it is just utterly annoying. LIke there's nothing happening. He's making it out to come accross like he is THE driver, and that's plainly unsympathic. Nobody likes a Know-It-All.
+americanstylefreak When did he ever cast himself as a know-it-all? Maybe if you checked out his channel before making crap up, you'd see that he's got dozens of videos from Stockholm of terrible driving. These videos are educational and help people see how bad road behaviour affects everyone.
+americanstylefreak "Know-It-All" Did you even read the description?
"All drivers in this video are not necessarily bad. I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone and I'm definitely not a perfect driver myself."
RedBearded T
In all fairness, no I havn't.
What a stunning country... Love the rainy mood too.
Did you ever drove in Germany?? We all drive like the drivers in the Video...
11:26 Cuxhafen
...nu so für zwischendurch.
"Bad drivers in Norway"? 95% av videoen er jo ikke "bad drivers".
sååååååå sant😂😂
Norsk radio: "Varning för en bilist på E6 som kör på fel sida i riktning mot Oslo!"
Dashcam Stockholm: "En? Det är ju tusentals...."
(Gammal klassiker...)
The truck driver at 4:13 isnt his fault.
Blame the small road. Its not the only place in this country.
2:34 That is actually not a roundabout, but rather "simply" a two way circular road. So you actually have to yield for people coming from your right. Pretty much only locals (those who drive there every day) know this.
nortex010 Ah, I though there was something weird about it, my GPS called it a roundabout and it looked like one, so I was really confused when that car drove on the wrong side like that. But there where no roundabout signs so I guess you are right.
Är det på din fritid som du spelar in filmerna eller har du kameran i din tjänstebil eller liknande?
Både och
tjänstebil? vad jobbar du som?
in Russia, this are the GOOD drivers :)
Yeah, different driving cultures and all.
With such beautiful scenery as your country boasts no wonder most of your drivers are distracted. Mist covered mountains, enchanted forests, avantguard architecture in the cleanest cities in the world.
So random question, but why are there so many American songs on European radio?
+John Smith America produces a lot of good music that becomes popular all around the world. I think America and the UK are the world's biggest music exporters.
+John Smith Because music is international and people like it?
+Dashcam Stockholm Sweden is the third biggest music exporter, don't forget that ;)
@8:11 Yea the rules are if you are parked on a blind corner and you pass the vehicle that parked and get into an accident with on coming vehicle the Driver that parked is responsible even if its fatal but most people in other country's don't seem to care if someone gets hurt or not just like hitting the cyclist
These are nornal here in Norway
I bet you enjoyed it anyways. The landscape is so nice :3
EpyHEminA ^̮^ Oh yes I did. Pretty much constant beauty on every road you go :)
You drove over the Atlantic Road I see!
+oddeh Yes I did, very beautiful!
When I rode my motorcycle through Norway, it amazed me how low the speed limits are and how slow everyone travels. I got beeped when I overtook cars at 100km/h (cars doing 75km/h in the countryside). Goodness know what they thought when I shot past at 140km/h north of Oslo (O-Slow).
pilninggas Then where did you go? I've never met any problem with going abobe the speed limits, and if the speed limit is 70 most prople drive 10-20km/h above, at least where I drive
There's no problem going fast, as long as you know where the police usually hang out. I usually drive 150-200 km/hr on highways and 100-120 on countreyside roads (unless there are too many curves and I don't know the road). I feel as long as you have control and don't pose any danger to other people there's no problem going fast. Old people might get a little scared when you takeover in double speed though. A lot of the roads are not that great (tiny, curvy, shitty quality) due to the terrain and I'd guess that's the reason for the low speed limits.
2:34 Det er ingen rundkjøring. Mange blir forvirret, men han gjorde ingenting gale bortsett fra å ta svingen litt fort
Han blir nok litt forvirret av at GPSen sier at det er en rondell.
Ja, men det er ikke bare svensker som blir forvirret av det krysset der. De burde helt klart gjort det til en offisiell rundkjøring, med skilter og full pakke.
Det som slår mig när jag ser den här videon är hur sagolikt vackert Norge är, men det är inte konstigt att vägarna är som dom är med tanke på landskapet dom har.
do you go out looking for troubles ?
Thanks for the video of your trip. The scenery is just fantastic, the roads look pretty good and the drivers were pretty good as well.
In my country, Australia, we have very many impatient drivers, not so many sheep on the road, but lots of kangaroo and cattle on the roads in the country.
+Ron Dekker Thanks for watching! I agree, beautiful scenery, pretty narrow and winding roads for the most and yes, pretty harmless drivers. I usually drive in Stockholm, a lot of impatient drivers there as as well. I would love to see a kangaroo in real life :D I really want to go to Australia sometime!
är det såhär i norge så har vi nog det bra här i sverige även om jag stör mig väldigt mycket på trafiken här som gör konstiga grejor.
I Norge har de typ inga fart skyltar så folk kör så de vill Tro mig jag är där ofta
Virker ikke slik, slik som du beskriver det.
Du.. vi har ganske mange farts skilter i Norge! Så der tar du feil
Generell fartsgrense på 80 utenfor tettbebygd strøk, så lenge intet annet er skiltet med gitt mellomrom og på motorvei. Er det så ille da?
I see one bad driver except for a few situations, yourself!
Narrow roads, use your brakes... In a city, be aware that people will jaywalk (walk on red) and adapt your speed...
The overtakes were fine except for the merc and the van passing the honda.
You need to learn how to drive on narrow roads. The VW passat coming through the fog was not a problem whatsoever, he saw your lights and pulled back into his lane.
He may not be aware, that it is actually legal to jaywalk in Norway.
Nice video... There are some terrible drivers here, and I am particularly annoyed with those asshats who call or text/fb/instgram/whatever while driving... You can see it from miles away, they are crossing lanes, braking hard and unexpectedly and failing for follow traffic... Worst part is that they do not seem to realize what's going on around them.
You were a bad driver when you didn't observe the pedestrian crosswalk filled with people wanting to cross.
Well all of the "BAD" drivers a doing mistakes EVERYONE can, have or will make at some point. Come on man! Another guy who thinks there are robots driving these cars.
What a beautiful rugged country!! Its my dream to visit Northern Europe and especially Norway. It is just a snapshot of how beautiful and wild Europe must have been up un till the medieval ages when it was lost to the industrial revolution..
The "Bad Drivers" around 4min inn to the video has Nothing to do with bad drivers its all about the roads....
Thanks for sharing. Norway looks awesome!
I want to go there.
Even the taxi drivers are nice, taxi drivers in Seattle are worst than drunk drivers, never know what kind of crazy manoeuvres they will do just to pick up customers.
Norwegian taxi drivers not fun to drive with i promise you
2:33 That's not a roundabout. Your GPS is wrong
Well, its atleast not like the russian dashcams!
Norway is the safest country in the world to drive in. If you don't count micro countries like Maldives, San Marino. www.dangerousroads.org/rankings23/6070-the-world-s-safest-countries-to-drive.html
Just came to see the scenery, beautiful! I must go visit Norway and Sweden!
Well worth doing in a RV.
There's some videos on here with people driving here in that kind of vehicles that I think you'll like. =)
It's also a way of cutting costs.
If you rent a RV in Finland or Sweden and then drive through Norway buying food in grocery stores and preparing it in the RV you can keep your expenses relatively low while also getting a good view of the country and a feel for the people. =)
Great clips but some really baaa'd 'pedestrians'
beautiful country Norway and Sweden
cheers and be safe
***** Thanks! They are almost as bad as in Stockholm if not worse
Cheers
you have sheep in Stockholm ??
***** Oh hahaha, not on the road at least! We have bad pedestrians in Stockholm, but maybe not baaa'd ones :D
***** There are actually several sheep farms in the geater Stockholm area but thankfully the sheeps are behind fences and not running around in traffic. :)
Do this in France for a few hours and you'll have 3 times more content. Most people here drive like ass holes (they're kissing your back all the time and passing at the most dangerous places. I've seen many many very close calls..
+Borja Medina Herreros Its quite ok in cities, the problem lies on départemental roads between cities and towns
Borja Medina Herreros I understand there are countries worse than France (Italy, and Spain as you say). Can you literally win your licence there?
The standard of driving in Norway seems to be excellent, with people being courteous to each other. Would be a pleasure after driving in Russia!
13:27 you dont stay in the left field unless you are overtaking people. So yes it made sense that he went in the right lane.
+HorizonExer He changed with less then half a second between us, too close in my opinion. If there where cars behind him in the left lane that wanted to overtake it would've made sense to change that close, not in this situation.
+Dashcam Stockholm the change was too close yes, but im talking about the text you wrote.
I wrote just that..
If the streets from Norge to small for you please stay at home! Sorry but most scens are without a problem! Where´s the problem at 13:25 for example?
Please visit germany, belgium, france, italy, spain, portugal or eastern europe. That is many times "bad driving"! But you driving in a good area without problems.
+NorgeChris I was going on a trip to Norway and wanted to make a video on what driving is like there, and I only got minor "bad" driving on tape which is a good thing don't you think? Take the video as something positive. Watch my other videos if you want more "action".
13:25 As I said in the video, he changed lanes with less than 1 second distance between us which was unnecessary without any car behind him that wanted to overtake.
Welcome to Norway - The land of the thousand toll booths
+Carlern Haha true. It is pretty expensive to drive through Norway
+Dashcam Stockholm I noticed you said it while you were driving on the new road to Hamar beside Mjøsa. It's like over 100 kr one way. I pay 46 kr every time I want to drive into Oslo. It's expensive, but beautiful. I am really happy you liked Norway. Welcome back :)
+Carlern We do have tolls around Stockholm so i'm kinda used to them already, however i'm not used to toll after toll after toll on roads in the middle of nowhere, but I guess the beautiful views makes up for it ;) I would love to visit Norway again, but this time go to the northern parts :)
Norway looks gorgeous! No controls at the border, though?
Yes, there's controls at the border, but not so much between Sweden and Norway, since both countries are a part of the nordic passport union, meaning that the only things checked there is cargo etc, since there's tariffs on importing food among other things from the EU and different laws for things like medication etc.
For one moment I thought you where talking about fox news style fake news though...
dude... maybe 2-3 of them could be considered "bad drivers". I haven't seen any dangerous overtaking, no road blocking and no cutting you off. The scenery is amazing!
its absolutley impossible to get arround ion oslo with a car... dont recommend
Kan de bygga lite smalare vägar?
+kaiserkarl2 Sometimes the roads are hundreds of years old, and they're not allowed to make it wider because of who owns the land on each side of the road + sometimes it's roads that are hardly ever used. It is fairly normal to have roads that are less than 5 meters wide. That's why there's M - meeting points, where cars can meet and let each other pass.
Alot of this is just normal in Norway. In Oslo, pedrestrians are the worst to follow light signals or even road signals, bikers are even worse. And all the campers in the mountains usually comming from countries with autobahn, so they piss themselves when a car comes their way so one just have to be patient. As a former semi trucker, people just can't stand remaining behind something, specially if it is bigger than its own car. And speed limits to some are just a guideline, because the time they usually fail to gather is more precious than security of others. Welcome to Norway søte bror.
Isn’t 00:00 James Bond’s scenery?
Yes it is :) the Atlantic ocean road
1:51 Do you have to stop for pedestrians in Sweden/Norway? they were probably tourists who thought you had to stop for them
also 8:56 looked alot like the Road to Hana in Maui :D
9:55 is literally what New Yorkers do lmao
to answer your first question: No, we don't have to stop for them, because when cars have a green light, the pedestrians have a red light
Apparently there are 457 shitty drivers in need of having their doors kicked in by the stasi and their driver licenses forcefully removed.
I am driving a BMW coupé and no one ever drives up close behind me. I guess it's their skin-deepnes that makes them suspect an antisocial jerk behind the wheel of the BMW who better is not to be messed with.
12:46 Is that Vareide on the radio?
yep
Who is Vareide?
+NorcraftGaming one of the most popular Norwegian youtubers in Norway.
Carlium
I know kappa jeg bare hater dem :P åtte bare men jaja samme det :D Cheers
A basic guide to drive properly in a Norwegian city:
1. Sell your car and begin walking due to all restrictions, guidelines, taxes, fuel costs, fees and all the time you spend trying to understand how to drive properly in a given city
2:10 Extremly common misstake. If you had continued down the tracks you would end up at the road again
I don't know what is the problem
Hvilket kamera bruker du?
Slik føreren gjør ved 7:15 er faktisk akkurat slik man lærer å foreta forbikjøringer på norske kjøreskoler idag. Kjørelæreren min sa det var helt ok å gjør slik, for hvordan ellers skal man kunne bli helt sikker på om kursen er fri? :)
// What the driver does at 7:15 is actually exactly how they teach us to make passes at Norwegian drving schools these days. My teacher said it was totally fine to check like that, because how else am I supposed to be 100% sure the road is clear? :)
den gate du trodde var en veiskjørt, har vært det for noen år tilbake, men da andre veien.
All in all, not too shabby! I wanted to see how we Norwegians fared here on bad drivers, and coming from 2 hours of bad american drivers on youtube this seems pretty harmless. I've heard lots of swedes complain over our narrow roads, and for that I am sorry! :p
Im watching just this beautiful nature
At 1:48 you should have waited for the people to walk across, i'm guessing you did't know?
+max1manus Why would he? He's green, they're red..?
They look mostly good drivers compared to the UK/Japan/China.
UK drivers are ignorant to other people; Japanese drivers are incredibly aggressive towards other people; and China is a nice strong mix of both.
Just did 500k in Hordaland in a rented Toyota. I was definitely the worst driver out there. Norske are all about fast and precise driving. I counted it a good day when I didn't get honked at. Those two-laners that become one-laners are definitely nerve wracking.
Låten vid 9:52 hade inte kunnat komma vid ett mer relevant tillfälle
At 6:00 mins in the video ,the sheeps are crossing which I think is rare in Norway but if you drive in India you i am sure u will be fed up because in India most of the cattles especially the cows are set free on the roads and you can find them even on the highways......Anyways i think its peaceful in Noway!!!!
hey though these are very common factors,yet i feel that you country is really beautiful....India is too good in the other aspects but very few Indians follow traffic sense which u would find it very amusing if u find them following.....
did he died?
Did the same persenol mistanke in Oslo at the same place
If I made a compilation of all of the worst driving, and all the worst roads, I see in a year it would probably be something like this (norwegian here). I'm frankly impressed of the amount of stuff you encountered in one trip; some of those stretches of road are just terrible. Like that bridge that only fits one car at a time in the middle of a curve for instance; there might have been a warning sign for that earlier that we didn't see in the video, but frankly there should be 10... and a guy communicating it by interpretive dance on the side of the road. Or better yet; build a proper freaking bridge instad of half of one.
I guess that's Norwegian country roads for ya' -.-
Not that bad driving, just returned from a roadtrip to Croatia. I don't miss Polish drivers at all.
BTW Norway is really nice, but Croatia might be even more nice. Well, the weather was better, at least.
Dashcam Estonia Nope not that bad. Norway is basically like Sweden when it comes to driving. Oh haha, I've been to Poland a few times and I agree. The overtakes you see there are unique. :P I can imagine Croatia is very beautiful.
Bilen som körde fel var visst svensk....?
Beautiful scenery but uneventful video.
again after watching this, don't let none of your people watch australian dash cams, keep them as pure as they are.
Your country is beautiful; God willing someday I hope to visit... :)
As far as drivers go, US, Sweden, Norway, same difference
Most of the video wasn't his country, he's Swedish, most of the video took place in Norway, a country bordering Sweden but still a different country.
As for the "same difference" part, let's just say that Norway has the strictest road laws in Europe and possibly the world with jail time for things that wouldn't even cause you to get a fine in a lot of other countries, and with requirements for the drivers license that makes the drivers license in some US states seem like it's given away without testing *anything*.
The US is of course huge so there's a lot of difference within the country.
But there's a reason why the US drivers license isn't valid in Norway other then as a short tourist grace period thing.
Drivers in some parts of the US are as bad Europeans from southern and eastern Europe and are in no way, shape or form comparable with Norwegian drivers.
Others are roughly on par with us, depending on the state, possibly even exceeding us in certain ways.
Wonderful country, very good drivers. Got no problems, even on very narrow streets. A problem are only the camping mobiles and their drivers, who study the landscape, not the streets before them. If you want a lot of idiots on the streets, come to Germany and study the phenomenon.
Beautiful landscape!
Some of these clips is in sweden bruuh
The roads are terrible in Norway. In many parts.
Australians have the same problem with kangaroos, just like the sheep in the video. The kangaroos hang around the edges of the roads to eat the wild flowers that the government planted to make the highways more beautiful. The problem is that they can weigh 90 kg.
I still Love Norway even I've not visit it yet
