2750 crowns, thank you!

Or maybe there are still the worst ones, those who move between the left and right lanes on the freeway without signaling anything before executing the maneuver. What many people know is that failure to use turn signals can result in a fine. From January 1, new traffic fines appeared. If you are now caught for not using your turn signals, the fine will be NOK 2750. Then sloppyness becomes very expensive!

The law is clear. 'Signals and signs' In the event of a turn or any other significant change in lateral position of the vehicle, the signals should be communicated to other road users.

You may be guilty of an accident

- Giving signals early, for example to change lanes or before a road turn, is important for both traffic flow and safety. Emphasizes Sigmund Clementz, communications manager at If, insurance company.

- When dealing with claims with insurance companies, signaling is one of several factors in explaining the fault. In some cases, if they are missing, it will have consequences and may blame you for the accident. Factors such as speed and on-site visibility also matter.

- If you have been guilty of gross negligence and there is a connection between the failure to use the turn signals and an accident. This may mean that you will have to pay all or part of the bill yourself, concludes Clementz.
