Ever since I made my licence in September 2012 (could've gotten it a year earlier but had to postpone due to studies), I've never seen an accident occur. Several near-accidents, however...
Some of which involved me. First one I remember occured a few weeks after I got the licence. I was driving the Berlingo and entered a bend which lead to the highway. It was covered with trees in the middle which made it hard to see what was going on on the other side. Moreover, I did not realise I had to give way. I guess I got distracted as I had gotten lost and was new to the area. As I did not see anyone coming from the right, I sped off - but then a huge truck came out of nowhere and I had to make a hard brake which had the tires gone screeching. It could have been fatal.
Next one occured in the Opera tunnel. I tried to get onto the highway, but a semi driving at moderate speed beside me prevented me from doing so. As I ran out of entry lane I had to swerve to avoid collision with the tunnel wall and ended up right behind the truck with only two metres to spare.
Then there was one incident which occured off the Sinsen junction. I was heading home from work and as I entered the highway, a black Toyota Land Cruiser which had overtook another car ran into my lane, having me in his blind spot. I had to change lane in order to avoid collision.
Last summer I was driving my aunt's Toyota Prius with one of my friends as passenger. After the lights at the junction of Griniveien/Vækerøveien turned green, I had the intention to drive straight across the junction, but a guy driving a foreign-registered dark green Audi A6 Avant had other plans. We were both first in line across from each other and he wanted to turn to his left, which meant that he had to wait until oncoming traffic had made it across. Only he didn't. He ran out right in front of me, and I had to jam on the brakes as I had already gone full speed ahead and didn't see his evil plan until I had gone over the zebra crossings. As I got a brief look at him, I noticed he also had a little kid in the back seat.
