JUICE, TOLS & SPEDING

Petrol is more expensive than the UK and readily available. Keep the tank topped up in mountain areas. The further north, the more expensive petrol. Mastercard and Visa cards are accepted. Use the blyfrei and NOT the diesel pump!

Toll Roads operate on some of the major through routes so keep some coins ready. You only need to stop if there is a red light on a green light motorcycles are toll free.

GATSO's are plentiful in the southern part of Norway - long, forward facing slim poles. Do not use this as an excuse for excessive speed Norway is one of the few countries where you will go to jail for quite modest speeds in excess of the limit. Speeding fines are extortionate - £400 for just 12mph over a 50mph limit!
