You should see Finland :O Its based on income in Finland, It was in the news the other year a man who was 30km/h over the limit got a fine of €121,000

But in Switzerland you can go to jail though

not as bad as australia though

In my country this would have been 0 euro. For a 600 euro ticket you have to go at least 226 km/h on a highway (limit is 130).

In nigeria.. I dont want to tell you what happens:)

And don't drive an audi. Criminals choice of cars here. So my police friend say "when we are bored we follow an Audi they always break the law"

BMW drivers are more criminal

​@@Knnnkncht BMW drivers went to buy Audis recently lol.

Also there is the undertaking that Bjorn does when he gets frustrated with the traffic, why not just stick to the rules that everyone else has to obey!

Nope, 110 is the highest speed limit in Norway.

Drive an Audi, get pulled over.

God’s racetrack for a reason 😬

Driving in Italy its a nightmare. They are driving like Neanderthals. And suddenly after crossing the border with Switzerland the italian cars know how to behave I hate it

@@maksmaksowski8408the same thing happens when the swiss cross the border into Italy: I’ve never seen a swiss following the speed limit on the Autostrada.

Italy is crazy! But I somehow loved it. In Bosnia it's even crazier than Italy.

​​@@maksmaksowski8408 i Love IT to Drive in italy (but Not with my own Car). Go with the flow 🤷 City Center of Palermo No problemo. Travelling through Switzerland with all those weirdos they want to teach you Something. Nightmare.

In Germany they don't hit us with high fines (expect for the most outrageous cases, when going 50+ above the speed limit) for speeding. License suspensions for 1/2/3 months hurt equally as much. And don't forget the nasty fines for not maintaining a safe distance on the Autobahn!

Problem is the people with money to spare don't care and just pay the fine and move on. If the price is high enough they might think again.

Limit is 110, so that’s 17 above :)

He may have gotten away with doing 120 on the speedo, but he was at 130 and his real speed was 127.

In Canada it is usually +10km/h. Anything more than that and it is fair game.

Why does the insurance company get insight into how many dots/marks you have!? That is private information. Sharing that leads to trippel punsihment -> fine, dots and then increased insurance.

@@gustavcarlsen8071 In the UK at least you must report any points that you have on your license when you apply for car insurance - if you lie they have the ability to check with the DVLA, any lies that are uncovered are both fraudulent and will result in your car insurance becoming null and void.

​@@blower1I don't like it. If you guys rebell you have my support! 😂

If you go over 102mph in a 70 zone it’s a court case. I’ve learned myself. I was doing 107 on the empty motorway. Lost driving licence for 2 months plus a fine which was several hundred pounds, add court costs and new drivers licence cost. Not going to lie, sold my bike soon after as I took all the fun away from riding. But I am biker so it could be different as in the same court the guy before me was driving with no insurance and no driving license got 100 pounds fine and 6 points (on a drivers license he doesn’t have).

I like that system with the insurance. People that manage to accumulate points like that should pay more.

Norway also have one if not the lowest fatality rates per distance driven.

also endangering traffic (liikenteen vaarantaminen) offense is always based on income. Last week my friend got a 166eur fine with no income just for endangering traffic

seems to me the best way🤷‍♂️😎

I know that case, but the articles says it was driving at 290km/h. Something really extreme.

Thats fair too do it that way.

He was caught doing 17 over. A fixed penalty would apply in Finland as well (last time I checked it was 200 EUR). 21 and above, then the income based penalties kick in.

So I guess the 10-15 minutes you saved was worth the 12k? :P

A law is a law. Why should police have the right to decide what laws are enforced or not?

@@1966Birger speed limits are kind of there for safety but are a very crude mechanism - a safe speed varies massively with conditions, but the speed limit in most cases does not. Enforcing a hard limit in safe conditions is pointless (and very, very few serious accidents happen in safe conditions with a small bit extra speed - more often it is in less safe conditions, or huge speed, or driver falling asleep). Very few police enforce any meaningful safe driving limits in rain, fog, slippery conditions, heavy traffic, low sun etc which are all more dangerous. If it was about road safety they would be pulling people over for all of these scenarios, but they don't - because the eventual ticket is hard to prove and so can be appealed as it is more judgement based. So, it's an extra tax.

@@asharak84 An extra tax which only those who have to pay, who are not able to read and follow a sign with 2 or 3 simple numbers on it. If you don't like the law vote or

The only reason I drive Norway route now is because my wife is about to give birth. In just 1-2 weeks, I will be back in Sweden.

Fortunately I don't average 150 km/h during my tests...

@@bjornnyland But wont you lose it if you accumulate 3 dots within a period? Thats how it is here in DK :)

@@nilfisktun You lose your license if you get 8 dots on your license in a 3 year period, so same in Norway

No, need 8 dots to lose the license ​@@nilfisktun

allso over 30km/h in Sweden you lose your driving license

ABC

In Denmark: Hvor der handles, spildes. Where actions are taken, spillage can happen. And the fine is same or more expensive.

In Poland: Gdzie drwa rąbią, tam wióry lecą Where the wood is chopped, the chips fly Exactly same meaning.

was zahlt man bei euch so für 20-30 km/h zu schnell auf der Autobahn? Als Ersttäter

@@davidstud3952 21 to 25 costs 100 Euros; 26 to 30 are 150€ Both will give you a penalty point and there will be additional administration fees (about 30 to 50 €) Bjørns 17 above limit will cost 60€ without penalty points. Whole penalty depends also on the area where you’re speeding. Inside closed residential areas the penalty is higher.

@@tomasz617 his translation was more like a translation of the sense not of the wording. The german "Wo gehobelt wird, da fallen Späne." Translated word by word is "Where there is planing, there are fallen chips". So it's basically the same ;).

More likely to get reduced tbh. Consumption per distance traveled goes up a lot past 90. Fines should be based on income like in Finland. To low fines only make the rich dudes in fancy sports cars not really care. At least up to the limit where you accumulate points. Right now its 2 points if 16-20km/h over and 3 points >20km/h over.

dont forget that E-roads are tolled to hell as well. Its weird that speedlimits are mostly driven by braking distances that were calculated in the 1970s. Didnt the topgear trio ascertain 15 years ago that with modern ABS, tyres and discs that using the 1970s data we could all safely drive at well over 150kph

The passport was to avoid nagging from The Internet Police aka Keyboard Warriors.

The thing is there are no problems, just follow the speedlimit and stop making the argument other people are driving faster… other people do way worse things its no excuse to do the same. its just some kind of ego thing most people need to overcome.

150 gets you a stunt driving ticket so people seem to take THAT as the speed limit. Especially on the 407

Why is that crazy?

@@Alekpowah because its 17 km/h too fast on a highway paying 600 bucks and getting 2 points on you license for that is way to strict in my opinion. it should be a small fine nothing more he wasnt racing or driving recklessly

From the USA: panda12333, your username hints you are Chinese, but your comment tells me you are from the USA. Because: many Americans seem to think they have a god-given right to break the law, and when they get caught expect little or no consequences. Speeding not only endangers lives, but it is a waste of natural resources. Kudos to Norway for having reasonable speeding laws and actually enforcing them. And kudos to Bjørn for having the balls to include the traffic stop in his video.

@@omelborpon3159 I live part time in germany. in the US I have never gotten a ticket for going 10 miles above. one time I got pulled over for going 11 miles over and got a written warning. In germany I think you have to pay 50-100 euros and no points. going 17 above on a highway and getting such a big fine is unreasonable. maybe in a residential area or something but even that is alot for 17 kmh over the speed limit

@@panda12333 The population supports it, we want safe roads and only a small minority disagree. It's not crazy.

Yes

@@bjornnyland Thanks for the reply!

It's illegal.

Speeding tickets in Germany are cheap. In the Netherlands they are much higher, but not as high as Swiss or Norway. Do keep in mind that the average income in Norway and Swiss are way higher.

Same here in Portugal, 60€ up to 20kph over the limit.

That isn't a thing in Norway. You can't change the number of dots you have. Only thing you can do is wait 3 years for them to expire by themselves. We also have rules against double punishments in Norway; so insurance prices aren't impacted by the number of dots you have. Your insurance might become more expensive if you voluntarily tell them yourself on the phone; but it isn't something they ask for. They only ask if you've had any insurance claims / accidents in the past 3 years.

@@kristianauestad816 oh OK thanks for the information

Thank you :)

It's rare you get the lowest fine, which is 1150 NOK in 2024, for doing 1-5 over. They must have a lot of spare time and be in bad mood for that. It is much more likely to happen in a lower speed zone like near a school.

​@@Gazer75yeah, I think that's mostly if you're driving in s manner that gets noticed. Like if you repeatedly jump lanes to get past slower traffic, driving aggressively and not just going with the traffic flow.

Speed limits are there for a reason. The chance of surviving an accident goes down dramatically at speeds over 70km/h.

​@@Gazer75sry that's the dumb speech that looks to aggravating factors and never to the cause of an accident. Plenty of speeding tickets all my accidents (and I mean all) have been below 50km/h (all below the speed limit). Couldn't care less about the theories of those perpetuating accidents and just tackling aggravating factors. Reason enough to call it revenue.

@@ALCLCFVIS You can ignore facts and numbers all you want. Tests have shown the risk of fatal injury rises dramatically at speeds above 70. Stand on a stool and fall face down without catching and you have had a 50km/h impact :P

@@Gazer75 you're part of the group that can't understand the difference between "the cause of an accident" and "the aggravating factors IN an accident". You are pro "softy accidents" without actually decreasing them, I'm pro reducing the number no matter the gravity (just use the soft part to get my car tidy, free of charge, every couple of years). Keep on insisting in speed, it will sort it out in southern Europe....oh you don't live in southern Europe you wouldn't know :)

@@ALCLCFVIS So I guess you know better than the people working in the field of accident analysis. Speed is one of the biggest causes of accidents. The faster you go the less time you have to react to unforeseen circumstances. Obviously people that don't pay attention is also a problem.

The new motorways in Norway are actually constructed for 130 km/h limits. But national law allows maximum 110 km/h limit. We had 100 km/h limit as max for the longest time before it was barely raised to 110 just about 10 years ago.

You must mean worse?! They have the average speed cameras in Norway as well; they are a disaster and suck the life out of your soil. I call the cameras Dementors…

@@magnuslarsson337 no I mean what I say. They are the best because they stop people from speeding and just breaking for a sign. I am not in favour of speeding 😎 If they suck th life out of you, you might just want to stay in the limit...

average speed cameras are horrible - we have them for many miles here but you end up staring at your speedometer not at the road. This is not a good thing. Also speed limits that are the same every day are not about safety, they are about revenue - safe speed changes daily but hard limits don't. Spot cameras work very well - you put them before a more dangerous location such as a bad junction and the traffic there is slower. On areas of road with no junctions there is little need for slowing down traffic on good days.

@@logitech4873 sadly i have a tesla and cruise control basically doesn't work - it gets spooked and brakes hard too often so it's much safer to drive controlling the speed myself. A dumb cruise control would indeed solve the problem.

This was a good example why as well :P If people didn't drive like idiots at night they didn't have to. Around here we don't have motorway and there is a one in a million chance at most that there is police on the roads, especially at night. They are to busy with policing in Bergen to care about the areas around it. I've called in drunk drivers and they are over an hour away so they can't do much.

Yes. You have a certain number of points, when they go to zero you loose the driving license and you need to redo the test

hes mistranslating. dot and point are the same word in many european languages.

@@matteoponzetto6682 you generally never lose points, you accumulate them. i actually dont know any country where you lose them.

It is indeed called dots - likely comes from some old routine where the law used ink to put a dot on your paper permit to use a motor vehicle. Same here in sweden. Three dots = license revoked. Don't know how many dots you can accumulate in Norway?

@@kingprone7846 Wrong, in Norway points expire after 3 years.
