Question

In Norway, at what age do you get your driver's license?

Answer 1

Minimum age for cars is 18 years. Mopeds (50 cc, max 45 km/h), smaller motorcycles (engine capacity equal to, or less than 125 cubic centimetres) and tractors are 16 years. Most larger truck licences require holder to be 21 years old. Motorcycles have different rules, you can drive a motorcycle with up to 36 horsepower from the age of 18, when you turn 20 you can drive motorcycles with unlimited power if you have taken the motorcycle licence when you were 18, or else you have to be 21 here as well. Although Norway is not part of the EU, the licence is in the form of an EU licence.

Before one is allowed to practice for any driver's licence, one must first complete a four-day class called "trafikalt grunnkurs" (elementary traffic class) which covers the basic rules of the road, some general advice, and what to do when involved in (or present at the scene of) an accident—including how to communicate effectively with [emergency services] and basic first aid skills (ABC, recovery position).

Anyone having completed this class and no less than two years younger than the minimum age for the desired licence is allowed to practice for that licence if accompanied by a parent or other adult who is at least 25 years old and has had the relevant licence without interruption for the past five years. Some driving schools offer basic training on how to effectively coach a learning driver, but this training is not compulsory. when you first get your license you get whats called a trail license which is a 2 year trail period during which it is allot easyer to lose your license, if you lose your license during this period you have to retake all the tests written + pratical and some off the other things. if you lose your license after the 2 year trail you just get the licnese in the mail when it is reissued to you.

Since January 1, 2004, the point system (Norwegian: Prikkbelastning) is used by Norwegian authorities to handle traffic offenders. Two points will be issued for most violations except for in the smallest speeding cases. If eight points or more is issued during a three-year period, the driving licence is temporarily revoked, usually for six months.
