Norway- Dangerous roads!!! Why it so hard to drive in Norway DC POV Truck Driving Volvo FH540

[@PerJustert]

"Norwegian roads are dangerous to drive on", claims the title of the video, but not a single dangerous situation occurs during this trip. If all heavy transport drivers had maintained the same level of quality as this guy, then the words "dangerous Norwegian roads" would have had redundant value.

[@Dani-it5sy]

As a Dutchman that has been driving trucks in Norway for 20 years I can assure you: When the Norwegians say the mountain roads are closed due to weather it really is not possible to drive there. I have been in some convoys (which is the step before total closure) and I was surprised how extreme it was. Norway with it's intensely low speed limits and focus on safety and THIS was ok !? I could hardly see the poles that marked the sides of the road nor the lights of the car in front of me. It was like driving in some kind of Star Wars landscape with a blinding snowstorm.

Been there. The other side of the entrance to the mountain pass was closed, they closed it on the side we came from what must have been shortly after we passed the gate. Had to drive as in a convoy and everyone switched their hazard lights on as if in a convoy. Extremely poor visibility..

@@villevirtanen00 I just drove from Flensburg to Amsterdam. Quite heavy rain on the Autobahn. I was in a few trains with fast cars a couple of times doing like 180 kph in an old Mitsubishi 😂. Still I experienced that as less dangerous as that convoi I was in 😅

[@janhansen554]

Im not truck driver myself and i travel 40 000 km per year on norwegian roads. Im very impressed how high skills 99.9 percent of the drivers perform. Drivers have stress with time and still they mostly drive their truck very safe, in all kinds of weather. One day i was driving on a very icy highway where i hold 80 km/h (50 miiles), and suddenly over a hilltop it was a truck which block the entire road. I had to break. Behind me i saw a truck and he started to break hard, and did manouvers which extended the road of braking. He stopped 30 meters behind me. I went out of my car, locked at his very good tires, and thank him for good skill and good tires.

Those road's really seem unique and requires certain skill to drive thousands of kilometers.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

Norwegian roads are definetly challenging to drive ... especially for foreign car and van drivers they pose a challenge. The roads really demand your attention. Even though e.g. Germans are well used to high speeds, the road layout in Norway make it difficult for tourists (at least those which have no or little experience with Norwegian roads) to keep the rather low speed limit of 80 kph, while the Norwegians (also trucks and buses) can easily drive that speed and tailgate them. I already have huge respect for both Norwegian truckers and bus drivers to be able to navigate these roads at that speed, but I think the most challenging types of vehicles to drive there are trucks with oversize loads, mobile cranes and to some extend also emergency vehicles. I feel sorry for Norwegians which have to struggle with tourists crawling down the street way below the speed limit, like doing 50 in a 80 zone for no apparant reason ... or rather the very obvious reasons like either not daring to drive faster or because of them looking at the stunning landscape and taking pictures. Still, those people are really annoying on the roads. Even more so, if they don't know that they're supposed to move over sooner or later to let quicker traffic pass by But I have to admit, Norwegian roads administration are doing good effort upgrading many of the old, narrow and difficult sections by either widening the existing road or building tunnels to replace the old road around the mountain and alongside the fjord. I still remember how the old E6 went over Saltfjellet, and how much better the new E6 is on both the northern and southern ramp.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

Summarizing what you wrote. In winter, I will travel faster than in summer, mainly because of tourists and the fact that they create traffic jams without passing others. This is normal behavior for Norwegians. Overtaking on these roads is very difficult. The only plus point on these roads is that traffic in the northern part of the country is low. And amazing views (❤️❤️) At the beginning of my adventure with Norway, I also rode slower, especially in winter, mainly because of the fear of possible consequences. Kind regards

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

I was in Norway on motorbike last year and my scariest experience was a truck driver "pushing" me in front of him through one of these roads in the Fjords. I mean, I was scaried already on motorbike on a road I did not know, but this dude kept pushing with 100km/h from behind in bad visibility and winds with no opportunity for me to stop or get him to overtake me for kilometeres to go. Finally there was a place where I could exit the road. Would I have slowed down, he probably would just cause an accident. Scary stuff.

E39 Romarheim is another one of those improvements. So many trucks that got in trouble there. Often blocking the whole road. Now there is hardly ever a problem. But they need to build much faster. Wtf are we doing such a rich country and some roads that should have been dealt with 3 decades ago are still not even on the calendar. Specially round Bergen. 16:35 like there for example. Grimesvingene. What is basically the ''ring east'' for Bergen. One long line of cars during rush hours. And no plans what so ever to do something about it. Bergen hardly has money to fix potholes. But everywhere you go you need to pay tolls.

[@HrHaakon]

​@@Dani-it5sy Well, we're busy building out tunnels in Oslo, and the new E-18. Don't ask people like me from Bergen too many questions about it, or we'll get angrier and more upset by the minute.

I noticed that almost all the videos with trucks in the ditch it was snow slush condition... In snow slush it feels fine until you suddenly loose all control and your car / big rig go into the ditch. Been there done that several times lol. If there is suddenly thick snow slush you have to slow down to less then 20 - 30 km / h and even lower to not loose control. And sometimes there is no time to slow down because you hit a patch of snow slush without warning.+

[@mortenwernergrun973]

Great movie. I drove my own truck in the 70s and 80s, across most of Norway. Now I am retired and only drive a motorhome. Take life easy and let cars pass as soon as I have the chance. But I react to the fact that foreign cars are better at thanking for being let past. Reacted to the fact that you did not thank the passenger cars that drove to the side and almost stopped. Well, they may be unsafe drivers, but then it's better to give way to big cars, than to just stand there and close your eyes like many do. The same with the one who stopped in the tunnel, better than smashing mirrors. And, it costs a lot less. Moreover, everyone has been a novice driver once upon a time. Drive safe.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

I understand you. As for overtaking, I often allow others to overtake me because I usually weigh about 50 tons, and I know what it's like when you have everything done to the minute. As for stopping in the tunnel, yes, there are places where you can't do otherwise, but it often happens that the trucks are too high, despite the restrictions, they enter the tunnel and expect you to do it because he will stand in the middle, close the mirror and do it . I salute you and admire you for driving in those years. I myself sometimes use old roads and they are demanding

I finished that work 5 years ago, when my daughter was 2 years old and since then I have been driving here in Estonia on a forest truck- same shit, right? :D It is, kind of, but at least our winters are not that long and I'm home :)

Naomi they have. It's called a driving school. And if you are skeptical to drive on vintertime you can ask there to have lessons in winter driving.

[@larrymiller4]

A major problem with roads in Norway is that they are too dang narrow. Secondary roads are narrower than 1 1/2 car widths, and the government must think "It's too expensive" to widen the roads to at least two car widths (not to mention two truck widths), without considering they are death traps. Even the "primary" highways are more like a secondary county road in the US. Too narrow!

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

They try to straight main road now and prepare them for 25 meters trucks. I drove E6 now and they start working on it in two new places

[@larrymiller4]

@@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver I see where improvements (widening, straightening) are being done to E6. Other highways will follow. Good news.

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

The problem with Norway is that they are too few and the land is too big. There's a limit to how much people are willing to pay for roads. Today the budget for roads is €60 per month per capita. This is at the limit of how much people are willing to pay. If Norway had twice as many people the roads could be twice as wide.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

@@KZbin_Stole_My_Handle_Too true. In some parts of Norway you can drive for half an hour and meet only one car

[@aNorwegianGuy]

In USA it's mostly flat, and cheap and easy to make wide roads. To widen Norwegian some Norwegian roads you need to remove mountains. It's crazy complex and expensive to build roads in Norway. In part also because of the large variety of temperatures, the road needs to handle that too. If it gets sogged, the winter frost will destroy it

[@TheBurzhuy]

I love such snake-like twisty roads so I would like to drive in Norway. I'm a calm driver so such roads is not a problem for me. I would drive to somewhere just to enjoy the road. It is good experience for drivers; stressful at the beginning, the road teaches you to not hurry, to look a bit further and predict the situation.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

[@YourCritic]

Those were some interesting journeys. Though you really let yourself down in the last section "Difficult Overtaking" - In the first pass, you were doing only just below 70 in a 70 km/h area, so you didn't really need to risk passing, especially around the bend. Then you continued on at 85 km/h once you passed with no signs that you were slowing down to 70.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

I did this overtake because I was driving behind that truck for about two hours, and 70 for him was extremely fast. If I drive slowly I let other people overtake me. There is a corner at the end and 60 zone. I don't brake immediately, I lift the throttle. Still you can't go faster than 60 in that corner, so I slow down

And the author pins a heart and doesn't reply in any other way... That overtaking was just dumb and reckless! What if there was a car driving in the other direction hidden by the trees visible at 23:15?

[@PampersNorway]

Have traveled up Namsen probbably hundreds of tims by now, this is compleately fine. You can see FAR between the trees, and if you know the road it is easy to rember how long you have to wait uintill committing on the overtake considering that little blindspot you have. you guys just don't know the road or how we have to risk assess up here.

[@pretzel2487]

@@PampersNorway Oh, really? The footage is in 4K, are you going to tell me that driving enough times through there makes the trees obscuring the entire view at 23:16 transparent? Look at how much space the driver needs for overtaking. The maneouver is finished only past the road sign informing of accommodation opportunities. That is not even mentioning the fact that the truck ahead of him drives at about 70 kph, adhering to the limit passed at 23:03, and our driver happily accelerates to 85 over the next 30 seconds. Yeah, road knowledge, risk assessment, my ass.

[@eGamingable]

Guys, I'm not truck driver on a daily basis, but I have driven some years in harsh conditions, similar to these. For the trucks flipped into the ditch, on the side of the road, I always think that the first thing is to adapt your speed to the road conditions. Am I wrong saying that those drivers felt too "confident" into their abilities or their trucks? For me, in 99% of the cases, killing my speed was solving anything.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

You are right in most of cases. But sometimes road is perfect and suddenly you have black ice beneath you. Sometimes 5 minutes make a huge difference. But yes, being to self confident is bad. Also trying to keep speed of other trucks. If someone catch me I always try to let him go becouse I don't need to be stressed. Greetings ❤️

[@a64738]

I noticed that almost all the videos with trucks in the ditch it was snow slush condition... In snow slush it feels fine until you suddenly loose all control and your car / big rig go into the ditch. Been there done that several times lol. If there is suddenly thick snow slush you have to slow down to less then 20 - 30 km / h and even lower to not loose control. And sometimes there is no time to slow down because you hit a patch of snow slush without warning.

[@randommaniac245]

Skandinavian truckers can cope these conditions rather well.Then came cheapy drivers from east with no winter tires,two axle tractor units,and more importantly,without a clue how to drive on ice and snow.Locals weren't actually happy with these heroes i believe.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

100% right ✅️ 👌 There were even tests and 6x2 trucks run much better than 4x2 trucks. Mine is 8x4 and I call it tank 😁

[@aanriuha]

Since 2015 all trucks arriving in Norway have winter tires. And there is snow not only in Norway. I just agree that the biggest problem is 4x2 trucks.

Great driving skills! I'm based in Lofoten, where the road is really narrow at certain parts and where there is a lot of tourists.

They drive real slow as well, but the local people drive at these roads at the normal speeds.

You could make the point that the roads are only as dangerous as the truck driver who drives on them. If you know when to slow down and use your mirrors, then it should be fine. Winter is a whole different ball game though. Even the most experienced driver can get into trouble during winter if the conditions are bad enough. Foreign drivers should know what they're getting themselves into if they plan to drive in Norway during winter.

[@KG_Norway_Truck_Driver]

I fully agree with you. Before I started driving north, I did a lot of distribution work in southern Norway. The first route north was a big surprise and a lesson in humility. Knowing the way is half the success, humility and skill are the other half
