A thin layer of snow has fallen during the night, and on Monday morning it is still snowing over large parts of Eastern Norway.
– It can be a bit slippery and slippery, and there is a lot of snow – especially between the lanes, says traffic operator Christofa Key-Nilsen at the Vegtrafikksentralen east to Dagbladet just before 06.30.
She encourages people to pay attention, adjust their speed according to the conditions and keep an extra distance.
– And if you don’t have winter tires on your car, then you have nothing to do out on the road today, says Key-Nilsen.
Downhill runs
A driver found out on the E18 near Asker center on Monday morning that summer tires on the car are no longer relevant, when the car skidded off the road and crashed into the guardrail.
The accident only resulted in material damage, according to the Oslo police district.
The driver, a woman in her 30s, has her driving license confiscated because of summer tires on the car, the police write on X/Twitter.
