Keeping to the speed limit is important. If you're behind the wheel in summer traffic, remember: Slow speed is not always safe speed. Contributing to good flow is contributing to fewer accidents.
Edvard Nesland knows what it's like when things go wrong in traffic. He is a former police officer with ten years of experience in the police, including three years in the Emergency Police. Half of the time he monitored traffic from a civilian car. Today he is retired and uses Safedrive.
With experience from both youth work, the motorcycle community and traffic, Truls Dahl Støber has a unique perspective on what creates safer traffic for everyone. He is committed to safe traffic, meeting young people on the roads and creating an inclusive community around motorcycles and self-mastery.
René Holmen rides nearly 20,000 kilometers on his motorcycle a year. He runs Bikelife Norge, a community for motorcyclists across the country, and organizes courses to empower riders and focus on safety.
Maria Sandberg is known for her extreme sports and freeriding with snowmobiles. In 2013, she appeared in the video series "RuffRiders" and has since been a visible voice in the community.
New figures from Trygg Trafikk show that fatal accidents on Norwegian roads continue to decline. It is a development that the entire Norwegian Traffic Department has been working on for a long time, and it is going in the right direction. But instead of breathing a sigh of relief, this is perhaps the time to ask: What is it that actually works?
NRK Trafikk – one of the most widely used sources of traffic information in Norway – is now being switched off. This service has been a regular companion on many journeys, especially during holidays and rush hour. It is now gone from the DAB network.
The government has chosen not to submit the proposal for a ban on inspection notifications before the deadline for the spring bill to the Storting. This means that all Safedrive customers can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to a safe and ban-free summer.
Every day, 140,000 trips are made while under the influence of alcohol on Norwegian roads. This is a serious social problem that requires effective measures – and Safedrive can be part of the solution.
"UP is on a wild path," says a former police officer about the bill from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and is clear that Safedrive saves the lives of both animals and people.
Now the world's most expensive fines are getting even more expensive. The government is increasing the fine rates once again, despite the proposal being slaughtered by experts.
Through an exciting pilot project, Safedrive and K160UTR hope to develop emergency vehicle notification – a new solution that can increase safety for both emergency services and other road users.
