We are generality better equipped during the winter then most countries.
Snow is removed and salt and gravel is spread on the roads, almost on a daily basis to make the roads less slippery
On the cars we have winter tires with rubber whit more friction, some winter tires have tiny spikes, one more thing that prevents accidents in Norway is that Norwegians are used to bad driving conditions, and know what to do if car gets a bit out of control (when you know what to do its fun), its often not the coldest days that are worst but they days where you have ice layer on road and lets say +1 degrees Celsius (melting point), this when you get water layer on top of the ice/show layer, it can be difference between driving in shadows or in the sun (or night or day), this are the days you need keep your eyes on the road.
On bad days we often drive 10 km/t under speed limit, on good says we keep or drive 10km/t over the speed limit, the normal speed limit on country road is 80 km/t, when you get populated arias its 60 km/t.
