How can you pay your Norwegian speeding ticket?
If you get a speeding ticket, you will get a physical ticket with payment details on it. This includes details for the SWIFT banking system, so you can pay it from any bank in most countries in the world.
You will usually get a copy of the fine at your home address if you don’t pay it within the time allotment, so it’s not the end of the world if you lose the physical fine. Most countries will have some agency that will forcefully collect the money from you if you don’t pay, but this varies from country to country.
There are no “fake police giving fake tickets” scams in Norway. In fact, pretending to be a police officer is a very serious crime that can often lead to jail time, so this is not something that happens in Norway.
So if you do get a fine from a police officer, it’s the real deal. The Norwegian police cars are white with black and yellow stripes on them, as you can see on the photo below. Their uniforms are typically black with a blue shirt under.

Is it true that you can get speeding fines based on your income in Norway?
Norway does not have a flexible fine system where you get speeding tickets based on how much money you make. These flexible income fines are limited to drunk driving, and you generally get a fine that is 1.5 x your monthly income if you get caught driving while being intoxicated. You get this 1.5 x your monthly income fine if you have more than 0.2 BAC.
Other countries like Finland has this type of system in place for speeding tickets as well, but as of 2022, all speeding tickets in Norway are a fixed amount.
