A Conversation for Driving Etiquette - Norway

Elk vs Car

Post 1

Ingisim - Domestic Goddess

I was fortunate enough to live in Norway for a couple of years as a child. My grandparents owned a small farm in eastern Norway, and one Christmas, driving up from Oslo to visit them there, my family and I passed a road traffic accident.

A smallish car, possibly an escort or some such, had collided head on at high speed with a fully grown male elk. The elk was lying to one side of the road, obviously dead but outwardly unmarked. The car was completely crushed up at the front; squashed to about half its normal length. It was horrible to think of the people inside.
