Vehicles with Norwegian '''green license plates do not have rear back seats'''. So if you are not traveling alone, or at most with only one companion, trying to hitch hitching a ride with such a vehicle is of little use. Some vans have a double bench for passengers in front, but except for those, green plates means seating for one passenger only. Even if it is a vehicle that had rear back seats when it left the factory, they will have been removed, for tax reasons, upon importation to Norway. This is done for tax reasons. Vehicles affected by this include '''almost all pickup pick-up trucks ''including'' 4-door models''', and some minivans and SUVs. Also some old station wagons.

According to [[User:thomasmyrman|thomasmyrman]] who hitched with a huge Norwegian flag, many drivers said they only stopped because it made them feel nationalistic pride and that it made the hitcher visible from far away. Consider having at least a small flag (even if you are not Norwegian) which you can buy anywhere in Norway. Grata[[User:Grata|Grata]] also had a bad experience.
