The elective subjects in Norway are practical subjects, contributing to increased motivation and more varied training for the pupils. An elective course in traffic knowledge can be chosen by pupils aged 14-16 years. The course helps pupils move safely in traffic by providing knowledge, skills and attitudes, and aims to motivate the pupils to reflect and think critically.
About 25% of schools offer this course and an evaluation of the course done by the Norwegian Centre for Transport Research showed good results.
