– If this was a real emergency where we really needed help, we might not have gotten it. It’s hard to think about, says Sæter to Dagbladet.
He, his roommate Camilla and their four-month-old daughter Frøya were on their way to Sæter’s in-laws a little outside Hammerfest last Saturday when things went wrong and the car got stuck in a snowdrift at a pothole.
He says that they stood still on the main road in and out of Hammerfest.
– We stood there for one and a half to two hours. I think at least fifty cars drove past, says the father of a small child.
It was iFinnmark who mentioned the matter first.
He himself had to step in with the spade to get the car free. In the meantime, the partner and daughter were in the car.
Sæter says that it was good with wind and snow that Saturday.
– That was a bit of a challenge. We had emergency flashing lights on, but it was not certain that everyone saw it, he says.
In the end, Sæter had the car dug out.

– We got free on our own in the end, but it took one and a half to two hours.
If the car had gone on strike, Sæter says that he would have put a warning triangle in the road.
The Kristiansunderen who has lost his way to Finnmark says that despite being disappointed that no one stopped, he almost only has good things to say about Hammerfest and Finnmark.
– It’s a fantastic place to live, he says and adds:
– Especially in the summer.
