'No to sex on roundabouts', Norway tells high school graduates

Reuters:
OSLO
Norway's high school graduates should refrain from running naked across bridges and having sex on roundabouts lest they give drivers "too much of a surprise", the national transport regulator said on Wednesday.
Norway's annual post-graduation period called "Russ" lasts weeks, involves partying and drinking heavily - and tends to challenge public morals every spring.
Dozens of accidents involving students' red- or blue-painted vans and buses are reported every year, and sometimes the celebrations lead to crashes killing those aged just 18 or 19.
While the list of rituals involved in the Russ celebrations vary from one school to the next, they almost invariably involve alcohol, nudity and sex.
In a statement titled "No to sex on roundabouts", Terje Moe Gustavsen, a former minister of transport who now runs the Public Roads Administration, said: "Everyone understands that being in and around roundabouts is a traffic hazard," .
"It may not be so dangerous for someone to be without clothes on the bridge, but drivers can get too much of a surprise and completely forget that they are driving," he added.

Might this drop them a few slots in their standing as the second happiest country on earth?

Next they will say that doing nitrous while driving is also "dangerous" and should be "avoided."

Well now, that's a buzz-kill. And I always had such affection for Norway.

In Norge it would be the alcohol and disturbing the drivers although how do you disturb
someone going 50 kmh?

Pretty sure this should be made a ‘sticky’, so to speak.
