Pretty much. No turning on red, and the "rule of the right" is not "trumped" by size of the road -- if it's coming from the right, unless there's a sign to the contrary, it has the right of way. But otherwise, yeah, pretty much. Bikes are vehicles and have the same rights as anybody else. Bike lanes are not obligatory (and also often not swept, so dangerous crud from the road gets blown off onto the bike lane and you can be better off riding in the road). The truck driver is definitely in trouble. According to the story, he is being questioned by the police.

I didn't really expect anybody to understand the Norwegian, but thought they might recognize the rider from her picture. Or name.
