i’m trying to find information on the speed limits in Norway. The Visit Norway website, which I believe to be a credible source, says that camper vans under 7.5 tonnes are exempt from the speed limits for ‘regular’ vehicles of that size.
We are 7.49 tonnes, so I assume this would apply to us. However, I haven’t been able to confirm this from another credible source. I have pasted the wording from the Visit Norway site below, can anyone tell me where I can get credible info to confirm it please?
‘Heavy vehicles (over 3,5 tonnes) and vehicles towing caravans or trailers may not exceed 80 kilometres per hour regardless of the local limit. Camping cars under 7,5 tonnes are excepted from this rule and are allowed to follow indicated speed limits as other vehicles. If the caravan or trailer is not equipped with brakes, the maximum speed is 60 kilometres per hour.’
