A foreign driver was stopped on Senja, Norway, for erratic driving, leading to legal action against them for traffic violations.

A foreign driver was apprehended by the police in Senja, Norway, following reports of erratic driving that included veering into oncoming traffic. The police announced that they had received video evidence illustrating the vehicle's reckless behavior, particularly in curves and turns. As a result of these infractions, the driver is being charged under section 3 of Norway's Road Traffic Act, and their driver's license has been confiscated.

The passengers in the vehicle, who were tourists, indicated that they had paid for their transportation.
