Norwegian trucker’s bad overtake on video

A truck driver in Norway made a classic mistake when overtaking another vehicle on a blind corner. Luckily no-one was hurt. But as this in-car footage from a Norwegian police vehicle shows, the consequences could have been disastrous. The Norwegian authorities are tough on driving offences and the truck driver will be having good reason to think long and hard about this very careless manoeuvre. This video was made available to World Highways through pan-European police body TISPOL.
