Discussing motorcycle safety with Norway’s transport minister

The leadership of Norwegian motorcyclists’ organisation NMCU – a member of FEMA – had meetings with key figures in the Norwegian government. Chairwoman Olea Kvalsvik and CEO Arild Lind had the privilege of sitting down with the Minister for Transportation, Mr. Jon-Ivar Nygaard, and the leader of Parliament’s Committee for Communication and Transportation, MP Sigbjørn Gjelsvik.

These meetings were all about one crucial topic: enhancing motorcycle safety infrastructure across Norway.  Several important issues were discussed, with a particular focus on two key areas: the implementation of motorcyclist friendly guard rails and improved road markings. These steps are essential for ensuring the safety of all motorcyclists.

Olea Kvalsvik expressed her enthusiasm, stating: “This has been a good day for Norwegian motorcycling, and we look forward to working even closer together with the authorities in the future.” Her words reflect NMCU’s commitment to collaborating with the government to create a safer environment for motorcyclists everywhere. “As we move forward, we’re optimistic about the positive changes on the horizon. Together we can make significant strides in motorcycle safety.”
