Næh, drunk drivers just go to jail. And there are way too many of them (drunk drivers, not jails) because many Norwegiansa are binge drinkers. But aside from that, yes, Norway is a safe and sane place. Mom and Dad kinda freeked out about the baby carriage outside thing, back when UK was newborn. I tried to explain that everybody does it, since babies are wrapped up too warm in the buggy to be comfortable inside. But M & D insisted on staying outside by the buggy because they couldn't accept that a little red rattle with "do not disturb" hanging from the buggy hood was enough protection. Amazingly, it is. Well, along with mosquito netting in summer and plenty of down and wool in winter.
