The police reported at lunchtime on Friday that they responded to a train on the E39 in Brusdalen in Ålesund. The background was that the wagon train over a long stretch had driven significantly below the speed limit. A little later, the police reported that the train had been sent for inspection by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, and that it turned out that there were technical limitations that caused it to drive too slowly. There were two tractors with a caravan in tow Several people ended up queuing for several rounds on Friday.

She explains that by definition this is a truck train as long as it is a vehicle pulling a trailer. Tove Holst-Dyrnes encourages all motorists to breathe with their stomachs in summer traffic.

The speed did not impress the motorists who were left behind in the queue. – The message we get is that people get annoyed when they are behind and they don’t drive in to the side, says Holst-Dyrnes. The police have now asked the drivers of these vehicles to pay attention to other motorists and drive off to the side.

And after being inspected by the National Roads Administration, they have been allowed to drive on. The operations manager has no information that they have been stopped by the police elsewhere in the country during the trip. – What is important is that they do not disturb other drivers unnecessarily. So they have to stop and let other traffic pass, says Holst-Dyrnes. The drivers have now been warned about this by the police. She otherwise encourages everyone in traffic to breathe with their stomachs. Published 05.07.2024, at 13.32 Updated 05.07.2024, at 14.20
