I agree. Translated from the audio: The trooper in the frozen baseball cap is Ib, and he's the road warden of the roads on North Cape/Magerøy, the island. His father (72 years old) is the driver of the front loader... As we can hear, in Norwegian, Ib is quietly lamenting on how some foreign trucks and drivers are poorly prepared, some arriving in the Arctic even on summer tyres(!), get stuck and leaves every bit of their recovery responsibilities to the warden, like this foreigner did. A problem was that the foreign truck owner has a vanity bull bar mounted in the truck's front attachment points intended for towing, so it could not be towed in a normal manner, but pushed with the front loader. Ib also mumbled something about the foreign driver was just sitting passively in the driver's cabin, not breaking a sweat, while reading a Donald Duck cartoon magazine... :)
Cool! I recognize this Lovland Scania from my visit at North cape Back in februari 2019! When leaving the North Cape there was a old MAN snow flow in front of our car❤️
The lorry/truck which was standing across the road was running on summer tyres. It was not Norwegian, which is very common throughout Norway. People come from other countries and there are no consequences for them unless the Norwegian Public Road Administration is on the scene, then they are not allowed to drive on until they have studded tires on the vehicle. When they block the road, they know they will get help. They go to bed and wait for the Norwegian road authorities to help them out. What is surprising to me is that this is actually a Finnish lorry/truck. They should be used to winter.
And always before winter new tires on truck but trailer not New tires... Bad road are north about 250-400 km and rest 2000 are normal winter roads Sweden and Denmark...
YeaP! A Finnish company should really have their equipment in order. This was a problem in the mid 90'is whenI first started driving trucks, and still was when I stopped in the early 20's , driving both in Europe and Northern Norway. I shouldn't be, but I'm in schock that this still is the situ. It is dangerous for everyone travelling on the road(in general) and it can create life treatening situ's, when a vehichle doesn't have the right tyres, chains or even a possibility to be hauled. I know of people in the road rescue service that have had to save the same semi 4 times within 24 hrs. Creating dangerous situ's and having to close roads. This is the reason why we should have people by the borders stopping foreign vehichles to make sure that they have the right equipment for the season and roads ahead. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@petrimukava ....meaning..? Doesn't matter how much summer roads you drive on, you have to be equipped for the worst scenario, and where you're headed. That might mean that you might have to drive with chains for those 250-400 km. There are very small margins if things go wrong. Better safe than sorry.
Being a Lorry / US Truck driver my self for 30 years, The lorry driver was an idiot for not chaining up his drive wheels. Not to mention who ever thought it was a good idea to only have 1 power axle on a 40 ton vehicle needs their head examined . In the USA most all 40 ton trucks run with 2 powered drive axles on the back if they are long distance ( tramp / gypsy ) driver trucks. Forget fuel use , think traction and control of the vehicle.
Well it's very common here with only 1 powered axle. Usually the problem is bad tyres, like the semi in this video didn't have properly winter tyres mounted and is driving on summertyres. In Sweden for example 64 ton is the highest legal weightlimit for trucks and the most common axle configuration is 1 front axle, 1 drive axle and a tag axle. They usually only get stuck in really bad weather.
totally. You have to be prepared for conditions like these. What's really bad, is that may of the companies really don't care, since most of the responsibility is with the driver. We, Norwegian road authorities should deffo be better at control of heavy vehicles on the border crossing.
@@victorsegermark4011 yes, but if you're headed to the Arctic, in Finland, Sweden or specially Norway, that can be a recipe for disaster. If the driver is experienced and know the area, it can work. If not.... things like this happens. You have to be prepared for the area you drive in. In Norway we have different rules, worse roads and weather conditions, shorter vehichles and lower weight limits.
@@user-qm4te9lb5l Norwegian weights are about 2200 US pounds to your TON , so our weights are very similar . We run 80,000 pounds approximately 36,000 kilos. In winter we see many single drive axle lories in ditches and jack-knifed . Much of it is lack of experience , as well as unwillingness or inability to chain up . stay safe out there .
Lift the tag axle and you go from 11.5 tons on the drive to (up to) 19 tons on the drive, which is much better for traction on snow and ice than 18 tons split on two axles. Tandems are pretty meh for traction on ice.

It's a great video, but everyone knows you should wear sunglasses to help prevent snow blindness. You're young, so protect your eyes.
Nice video with difficult weather conditions ❄❄❄

trucks usually use All season tyres, not summer, but in this weather its the same.
Winter time Finland trucks and summer east Europe driver's...
I be driving to fish truck of North Norway about years a go...

A 6x2 = 2 snow plough??? Unimaginable in central europe, here we mainla use 6x4/4, these are 4x4 with a tag axle…
Well, up here we know how to drive in real winter conditions

I only dislike the video simply because there are no captions to switch it over to English subtitles.
ikr.
Specially since the heading is in English. Easy to assume that there's at least ENG SUBtitles. Sorry for the non Norwegians.

They never reached the exact point. And it was one time. This worker drives in work every day.
@@frodeenerstad4406 where does it say that they didn't reach the north pole? He doesn't drive a snow plough every day either
