Norway: Heavy vehicles involved in many accidents
Aftenposten, 12 Oct 2016, online:-
Heavy vehicles are more involved in mortal traffic accidents in Norway than in an average European country. The number of persons killed in traffic accidents involving heavy vehicles is about 35% higher in Norway, in relation to population numbers, according to a report by the Norwegian Institute of Transport Economics (Transportøkonomisk institutt , TØI).
The number of accidents involving heavy vehicles is also declining in a slower pace than in other European countries. This is attributed to much heavy road traffic in Norway, as well as a road network that is not built for heavy transports.
