Heading towards shock price of fuel

Fuel prices fluctuate, but now there are warnings of a real price shock. According to new forecasts, we could soon see pump prices of over 30 kroner per liter. If so, those would be the highest prices ever.

Low speed is also dangerous

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.

– A warning can make the difference between a near miss and a fatal accident

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.

Fewer deaths in traffic

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?

Now the Traffic Service NRK Trafikk disappears on DAB

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.

Prohibition against control notification was not brought forward

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.

Traffic intoxicants: A problem that requires cooperation

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.
