Indian Expat Describes Rigorous Two-Year Process to Obtain Norwegian Driving Licence
An Indian expatriate in Norway spent nearly two years and around Rs 6 lakh to obtain a Norwegian driving licence, highlighting the country's rigorous process focused on road safety. The procedure involved mandatory courses, safety training, theory tests, and extensive driving practice under experienced supervision. This contrasts with India's relatively lenient licensing system, which has faced criticism for inadequate testing and prevalence of fake licences. The Norwegian approach emphasizes comprehensive skill development over mere vehicle operation.
