Police conducted laser speed checks on the E6 highway in Moss Thursday evening. Two drivers had their licenses immediately confiscated for extreme speeding. One motorist reached 200 kilometers per hour while another drove at 165 km/h.
The E6 is Norway's main north-south highway with a 110 km/h speed limit in that area. Police described the speeds as dangerously excessive in their official report.
Norwegian authorities take high-speed violations seriously due to the clear safety risks. Such speeds dramatically increase stopping distances and reduce driver control.
These incidents highlight ongoing challenges with speeding on Norwegian roads despite strict traffic enforcement. The immediate license confiscation shows police are using their authority to address dangerous driving behavior directly.
