Driver Loses License After Dangerous Minibus Rides Near Tromsø Airport

Norwegian police have confiscated the driver's license of a person operating a foreign-registered minibus in Tromsø. This enforcement action was taken at Polaria, an Arctic aquarium and experience center. The complaints described poor driving skills and several near-collision incidents that occurred during recent trips along this route. These reports were serious enough to prompt an immediate review by local law enforcement officials. Police decided to seize the driver’s license as a precautionary measure for public safety. The minibus involved in the incidents was registered outside of Norway, which may influence how the case is handled under Norwegian traffic laws. The stretch of road connecting Tromsø Airport and Polaria is commonly used by both tourists and local residents, particularly during high travel seasons in northern Norway. Because this corridor serves as an important transportation link in the region, any reported safety issues tend to receive prompt attention from authorities. At this time, police have not released additional information regarding possible criminal charges or whether the driver held proper authorization to offer commercial passenger transport services within Norway. The investigation remains ongoing, but no further details about the operator or the vehicle have been made public.
