Norwegians' greatest fear in traffic is encountering intoxicated drivers, with 10,848 drivers reported for impaired driving in 2024—an average of 30 per day. Intoxication is the cause of one in five fatal accidents on Norwegian roads, and experts warn that the actual numbers are likely much higher due to significant underreporting. Surveys show that 76% of Norwegians rank drunk drivers as their top concern in traffic.

18% of Norwegians admit to driving under the influence. Plan ahead this holiday season—intoxication and driving never mix.
