It is not only in Denmark that the authorities carry out so-called roadside inspections. Similar controls exist in Norway.
Here at home, it is primarily heavy commercial corvettes and motorcycles that can smoke into a roadside view. But in Norway there is a similar system.
And here everyone risks being stopped. The other day, however, the owner of a black Saab 9-3 had very little desire to chat with the Norwegian authorities.
This is written by Norwegian TV2 .
As part of the spot checks on Norwegian roads, the authorities use license plate scanners that can tell whether a car is registered or not. And the Saab owner fell for it.

In any case, he now faces a fine of 5,000 Norwegian kroner because he passed the license plate scanner in a deregistered car. The stall corresponds to just under 3,200 Danish kroner.
At first it looked as if the owner of the black Saab would stop when he was waved to the side. But instead he floored the accelerator as he approached the checkpoint.
In Norway – similar to the Danish rules – cars that are unregistered in traffic are looked upon very strictly.
– You must not go out on the road without having registered your choir gear again. And it is important to know that once you have opted out, the liability insurance also disappears automatically.
– If you drive without valid insurance, you yourself are the one who is financially responsible if an injury or an accident occurs, Roger Ytre-Hauge, car manager at Frende Forsikring, previously informed the media.
In this country, owners of corrals that are registered with number plates, but are without insurance, receive daily fees. But the Danish Association for International Motorkoretysforsikring, which is set to administer the scheme, does such a poor job that it has drawn harsh criticism several times.
Among other things, the foundation has unjustifiably charged millions of kroner in fees. In a press release, however, the foundation will only acknowledge that 'in some cases it has taken too long to process cases'.
