The Norwegian Persepective

What can the UK learn from Norway about learning to drive?Norwegian-born driving instructor Emma Fonnaland joins Terry to compare the two countries’ approaches to instructor training, road safety and preparing new drivers. They explore Norway’s two-year qualification process, mandatory theory education, private practice and practical safety experiences—including loss-of-traction training and a surprisingly painful 7mph crash demonstration.Emma also explains why her social media focuses on the reasons behind safe driving, how learners and instructors respond differently to her content, and why passing the test should never become more important than protecting people.A conversation about raising standards, challenging established thinking and helping learners understand not only what to do, but why it matters.Follow Emma on Facebook here
