Since moving to Norway, I’ve been so pleased with the limited pollution – clean air and water, the nature, etc. The high proportion of electric vehicles in Oslo where I live also helps.

But then, once every couple weeks or so, I am driving and see a vehicle spewing an insane amount of pollution out of its tailpipe. Presumably because something is wrong with it. Maybe the owner is oblivious, or maybe the know (at least it doesn’t look like something they have tried to do, they are not “rolling coal”). It cannot be legal to drive around like that. Is there somewhere to report these vehicles so that they can be required to visit the mechanic and fix whatever is making them spew exhaust?

  1. it’s old oil in the motor most probably, they are killing their engine for being cheap.

    I assume this will be picked up on the compulsory check that every car needs to go through every second year.

    Generally, cars pollute more when starting in the cold and you can see a lot of exhaust until the engine warms up properly

  3. You must have way too much free time if you’re trying to make life harder for people who already have it tough enough.
