Editing Convoy (section)

===Storm convoys===
In Norway, "convoy driving" ({{langx|no|kolonnekjøring}}) is used during winter in case weather is too bad for vehicles to pass on their own. Convoy driving is initiated when the strong wind quickly fills the road with snow behind snowplows, particularly on mountain passes.<ref>[http://www.vegvesen.no/om+statens+vegvesen/presse/Pressemeldingsarkiv/Vegdirektoratet/kolonnekj%C3%B8ring-slipp-lang-ventetid-sjekk-vegmeldingene-se-video Kolonnekjøring] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208014509/http://www.vegvesen.no/om+statens+vegvesen/presse/Pressemeldingsarkiv/Vegdirektoratet/kolonnekj%C3%B8ring-slipp-lang-ventetid-sjekk-vegmeldingene-se-video |date=2016-02-08 }}, Statens Vegvesen (in Norwegian), published 19 March 2013, accessed 7 November 2015.</ref> Only a limited number of vehicles are allowed for each convoy and convoy leader is obliged to decline vehicles not fit for the drive.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kolonnekjøring er vinterens utfordring|url=https://www.naf.no/tips-og-rad/bilferie-og-reise/reisetips/kolonnekjoring/|publisher=NAF|access-date=7 November 2015|archive-date=8 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208015421/https://www.naf.no/tips-og-rad/bilferie-og-reise/reisetips/kolonnekjoring/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Storm convoys are prone to [[multiple-vehicle collision]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Kollisjon under kolonnekjøring|url=http://www.nrk.no/telemark/kjedekollisjon-under-kolonnekjoring-1.4570411|access-date=7 November 2015|publisher=NRK|date=19 January 2008}}</ref> Convoy driving is used through [[Hardangervidda]] pass on [[Norwegian National Road 7|road 7]] during blizzards.<ref>{{cite news|title=Vegvesenet går for billig veiløsningen på Hardangervidda|url=http://www.dn.no/nyheter/politikkSamfunn/2015/10/27/1532/vegvesenet-gr-for-billig-veilsningen-p-hardangervidda|access-date=7 November 2015|publisher=Dagens Næringsliv|date=27 October 2015}}</ref> Convoy is sometimes used on road E134 at the highest and most exposed sections during bad weather.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kolonnekjøring mellom Hovden og Haukeli|url=http://www.fvn.no/lokalt/setesdal/Kolonnekjoring-mellom-Hovden-og-Haukeli-2768248.html|access-date=7 November 2015|publisher=Fædrelandsvennen|date=26 February 2015|archive-date=8 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208021153/http://www.fvn.no/lokalt/setesdal/Kolonnekjoring-mellom-Hovden-og-Haukeli-2768248.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> On [[European route E6]] through [[Saltfjellet]] pass convoy driving is often used when wind speed is over 15–20&nbsp;m/s ([[Beaufort scale|fresh or strong gale]]) in winter conditions.
