Police seized a man's license after he drove 200 kilometers per hour in Moss. The incident occurred on the E6 highway in a 110 km/h zone. Officers measured the 20-year-old driver at nearly double the legal speed limit.
A police operations leader called such high speeds dangerous. "Police take these extreme velocities seriously," officials said in a statement. They emphasized the risk such driving poses to public safety.
Another driver in his 30s also lost his license during the same operation. Police caught him driving 165 km per hour on the same roadway. Both men now face serious traffic violations.
The E6 is Norway's main north-south highway running from Oslo to the Swedish border. Speed limits typically range from 80 to 110 km/h depending on the section. Norwegian police regularly conduct speed control operations on this vital transport route.
These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about speeding on Norwegian roads. Despite strict traffic laws, some drivers continue to take extreme risks. The consequences often include immediate license revocation and substantial fines.
