Faroese police officers have previously stated that fines in the Faroe Islands for speeding are "ridiculously low." But now the Norwegians are doing something about the matter. Since January this year fines have on average been increased by 25%. That means, for example, that it costs 500 DKK to drive 5 km/h too fast an... | BLARK_translated | Føroyskir løgreglumenn hava áður úttalað, at bøturnar í Føroyum fyri ov høga ferð eru "láturliga lágar". Men nú gera norðmenn nakað við málið. Frá január í ár eru bøturnar hækkaðar við í meðal 25%. Tað merkir t.d., at tað kostar 500,- kr at koyra 5km/ ov nógv og 3000,- kr at koyra 25 km/t ov nógv.

The car-free day that the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, recently announced will not happen. Numerous organizations — including FDM — sued the municipality, arguing that the regulation about a car-free day on Friday 22 September was illegal under the Treaty of Rome and EU rules on the free movement of... | BLARK_translated | Bilfríi dagurin, sum yvirborgarstjórin í Keypmannahavn, Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, lýsti herfyri, verður av ongum.

In Norway, drivers of hire cars are still exempt from the requirement to use seat belts. But now all other exemptions are coming to an end. A new law is on the way which among other things includes a requirement that children on buses must sit in seat belts, and that special safety equipment must be provided on buses f... | BLARK_translated | Í Noregi eru hýruvognsførarar framvegis undantiknir kravinum um at brúka trygdarbelti. Men nú verður endi á øllum øðrum undantøkum. Ein nýggj lóg er á veg sum m.a. umfatar eitt krav um, at børn í bussum skulu sita í trygdarbelti, umframt at serlig trygdarútgerð skal verða í bussum fyri rullustólar og barnavognar. Bussf... |
Tunnels in the future will probably be double, i.e. there will be two holes side by side instead of one. This is mainly because the risk of fire in accidents is very high. When two tunnels run side by side traffic flows more easily, it is considered, and with "side passages" between the tunnels it can also be avoided. | BLARK_translated | Tunnlar í framtíðini verða helst dupultir, t.v.s. at talan verður um tvey hol lið um lið - ístaðin fyri eitt. Hetta kemst serliga av, at vandin fyri eldsbruna undir vanlukkum er sera stórur. Tá tveir tunnlar eru lið um lið gongur ferðslan lættari, verður mett, og við "síðugøtum" millum tunnlarnar slepst eisini burtur |

If you drive a car in Norway after Wednesday, March 15, 2000 and speak on a handheld mobile phone, you will receive a large fine.

How long the treatment in the judicial committee will take is still unknown. | BLARK_translated | Hvussu langa tíð viðgerðin í rættarnevndini fer at taka er enn óvist. |
In our neighboring countries, most serious traffic accidents are caused by head-on collisions, or by cars leaving the road on the wrong side. In Sweden, new trials have been carried out with central barriers - a kind of railing in the middle of the road - in addition to the usual car protections on the road edges. | BLARK_translated | Í grannalondum okkara standast teir flestu álvarsligu ferðsluskaðarnir av samanbrestum frammífrá, ella at bilar sleppa útav í skeivari vegsíðu. Í Svøríki eru nýggjar royndir gjørdar við miðøkslum - eitt slag av rekkverki mitt eftir vegnum - umframt vanligu bilverjurnar við vegjaðararnar. |
The results from the trial areas show that the trials have been very successful. The aim of the trials is to fulfill the first stage of the zero-vision: to approach as closely as possible the goal that no one should lose their life or be seriously injured in traffic! | BLARK_translated | Úrslitið frá royndarøkjunum vísir, at royndirnar hava hepnast sera væl. Endamálið við royndunum er at lúka fyrsta stigið í 0-hugsjónini: at nærkast mest møguligt tí máli, at eingin skal láta lív ella verða álvarsliga skadd/ur í ferðsluni! |
All dangerous main roads that currently only have a painted line down the middle shall, from now on, have guardrails. Most accidents are caused by: excessive speed, icy conditions, wind, or tire blowouts. But in certain trial areas there have been no fatalities in the past 9 months, and traffic injuries have also decre... | BLARK_translated | Allir vandamiklir høvuðsvegir, sum nú bert hava eina málaða rípu eftir miðjuni, skulu, sum frá líður, hava rekkverk.

Had this been done, the driving shifts would never have been longer than 6 hours per day, and the schedule would have been made more generous, as consideration would also have been given to unusual circumstances. | BLARK_translated | Hevði hetta verið gjørt, høvdu koyrivaktirnar ongantíð verið longri enn 6 tímar um dagin, og tíðarætlanin hevði verið gjørd rúmligari, við tað at fyrilit eisini hevði verið tikið fyri óvanligum umstøðum. |
One possibility to solve the traffic problems on Varðagøta in Tórshavn is that the YWCA gives up some of its garden by Varðagøta. Discussions are currently taking place about this, but it has not yet been finally decided whether it will be the YWCA that will remedy the complicated traffic situation around the schools a... | BLARK_translated | Ein møguleiki at loysa ferðslutrupulleikarnar í Varðagøtu í Havn, er, at KFUK letur nakað burtur av garði sínum við Varðagøtu.

Even though many still drive with summer tires, and although it is not illegal at all to drive with summer tires in winter, it is nevertheless not allowed to drive with studded tires in the summer. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvt um mong enn koyra við summardekkum, og hóast tað als ikki er ólógligt at koyra við summardekkum um veturin, so er tað kortini ikki loyvt at koyra við píkadekkum um summarið. |
Work is currently underway to build a large roundabout at SMS. This plan was chosen over other proposals, such as building a tunnel or a pedestrian bridge across R.C. Effersøesgøta.

The Danish FDM is currently creating a very large database with all available offers for trips and leisure travel. This is a website that has already been released on the internet.

On the other hand, there is nothing in the law that prevents Faroese people from being allowed to drive a car in the Faroe Islands even if it is registered in Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Harafturímóti er einki í lógini, sum forðar fyri, at Føroyingar ikki hava loyvi at koyra ein bil í Føroyum, hóast hann er skrásettur í Danmørk. |
In the minds of many young people, it seems that Oyggjarvegur has become a public racetrack. A recurring attempt with fast cars is to see how much speed they can build up driving up and down by Grøv.

After December 31 of this year, the old Faroese driving license will be invalid — both in the Faroe Islands and abroad. | BLARK_translated | Aftan á 31. desember í ár verður gamla føroyska koyrikortið ógildugt - bæði í Føroyum og uttanlands. |
Now May 1 is approaching, and April 30 is the last day when it is permitted to drive with studded tires. The police inform that they will not go out to check cars if there is slush and slippery conditions on May 1, but that it is usual to begin checking cars shortly after the turn of the month. If you are driving then ... | BLARK_translated | Nú nærkast 1. mai, og 30. apríl er seinasti dagur, sum loyvt er at koyra við píkadekkum. Løgreglan upplýsir, at tað ikki verður farið út at kanna bilar, um tað er kavarok og hált 1. mai, men at vanligt er at byrja at kanna bilar stutt eftir mánaðarskiftið. Um koyrt verður tá við píkadekkum, verður bót givin á staðnum. |
A good tip is also to check the rules in the country where you will be driving, because there may be special requirements, for example that a fire extinguisher must be in the car. A warning triangle is also often required in several countries. | BLARK_translated | Eini góð ráð eru eisini at kanna reglurnar í tí landi, har koyrt verður, tí har kunnu serstøk krøv vera galdandi sum t.d., at eldsløkkjari skal vera í bilinum. Eisini er ávaringartríkantur t.d. kravdur í fleiri londum. |
The big car exhibition in the Sports Hall at Háls over the weekend is not just about new car designs. If you take a closer look, you can see that increasingly more is being done for traffic safety, even in the cheapest cars. | BLARK_translated | Stóra bilaframsýningin í Ítróttarhøllini á Hálsi um vikuskiftið snýr seg ikki bara um nýggj snið av bilum. Hyggur ein nærri sær ein, at tað áhaldandi verður gjørt meira og meira burturúr ferðslutrygdini, eisini í teimum bíligastu bilunum. |

This, together with strong safety beams in the doors, newer technology in the safety airbags and seat belts, makes even the smallest cars significantly safer today. | BLARK_translated | undir samanstoyti. Hetta, saman við sterkum trygdarbjálkum í hurðunum, nýggjari tøkni í trygdarbjølgunum og trygdarbeltunum, ger sjálvt teir minstu bilarnar munandi tryggari í dag. |

Most of the aforementioned can be seen in the hall at Háls at the car exhibition over the weekend. | BLARK_translated | Tað mesta av hesum nevnda er at síggja í høllini á Hálsi á bilaframsýningini um vikuskiftið. |

On Friday, April 28, the annual meeting of the Council for Traffic Safety was held. On the agenda was, among other things, the election of members and deputy members to the executive committee. Before the meeting, the executive committee was staffed by Petur Jacob Sigvardsen, chairman; Pál Weihe, vice-chairman; and com... | BLARK_translated | Fríggjadagin 28. apríl var ársfundur hjá Ráðnum fyri Ferðslutrygd. Á skránni var m.a. val av limum og varalimum í starvsnevndina. Undan fundinum var starvsnevndin mannað við Petur Jacob Sigvardsen, formanni, Pál Weihe, næstformanni, og nevndarlimunum Eyðuni Djurhuus, Hervør Guttesen og Jákup Napoleon Olsen. |
All board members were up for election, and two of them, Pál Weihe and Eyðun Djurhuus, had previously announced that they would not accept re-election. | BLARK_translated | Allir starvsnevndarlimirnir stóðu fyri vali, og tveir teirra, Pál Weihe og Eyðun Djurhuus, høvdu frammanundan boðað frá, at teir ikki tóku við afturvali. |
The result of the board election was that Petur Jacob Sigvardsen, Jákup Napoleon Olsen and Hervør Guttsen were re-elected. As new members of the board, Høgni í Stórustovu and Høgni Djurhuus joined.

The large car exhibition in the Sports Hall at Háls over the weekend is not just about new designs of cars. If you look more closely at this exhibition, you will notice that increasingly more is being done about traffic safety, even in the cheapest cars. | BLARK_translated | Stóra bilaframsýningin í Ítróttarhøllini á Hálsi um vikuskiftið snýr seg ikki bara um nýggj snið av bilum. Um hugt verður gjøllari at hesi framsýning, verður ein varur við, at áhaldandi verður gjørt meira og meira burtur úr ferðslutrygdini, eisini í teimum bíligastu bilunum. |
Most new cars are made 'softer' in the corners, so that they give way quite a bit in a collision. These improvements together with strong protective beams in the doors, newer technology in the airbag systems and seat belts make even the smallest cars considerably safer than they used to be. | BLARK_translated | Flestu nýggju bilarnir eru gjørdir "bleytir" í hornunum, so at teir geva seg rættiliga nógv undir samanstoyti. Hesar ábøtur saman við sterkum trygdarbjálkum í hurðunum, nýggjari tøkni í trygdarbjølgunum og trygdarbeltunum, ger sjálvt teir minstu bilarnar munandi tryggari, enn teir áður hava verið. |
There have been some recent changes outside: cars have gotten better lights — the so‑called “combination taillights,” which are considered more visible and considerably safer, and nowadays many cars also have smarter rear and high brake lights.

Most of this new equipment can be seen at the car exhibition over the weekend in the hall at Hálsur. | BLARK_translated | Tað mesta av hesum nýggja útbúnaði er at síggja á bilaframsýningini um vikuskiftið í høllini á Hálsi. |
Although the chairman of the judiciary committee welcomes the new traffic law, he nevertheless does not consider it to be timely. In reality it is merely a jumble of provisions for drivers. | BLARK_translated | Hóast formaðurin í rættarnevndini fegnast um nýggju ferðslulógina, so heldur hann hana tó ikki vera tíðarhóskandi. Hon er í veruleikanum bert ein rúgva av ásetingum fyri bilførararnar. |
Part of this has already been authorized for the minister to amend and determine by regulations. But the chairman of the judicial committee believes that work should proceed toward a new, comprehensive and well-organized traffic law that covers all the aforementioned matters. | BLARK_translated | Ein part av hesum er landsstýrismanninum longu heimilað at broyta og áseta við kunngerðum. Men formaðurin í rættarnevndini heldur, at arbeitt skal verða fram ímóti eini nýggjari, umfatandi og væl skipaðari ferðslulóg, sum umfatar allar áður nevndu tættirnar. |
The Faroese Police Association held its 50th annual meeting on Friday, May 5. The Faroese Police Association was founded on St. Olaf’s Day in 1950.

If the whores still haven’t left in the nice weather, they should be gotten rid of immediately. The police are now conducting several Article 13 investigations across the country in addition to the routine traffic checks. The first trials are about to begin, and therefore special care should be taken to ensure the cars... | BLARK_translated | Eru píkarnir framvegis ikki komnir av í góðveðrinum, so er at fáa teir av beinanvegin. Løgreglan ger nú fleiri grein 13-kanningar um alt landið umframt tær ferðkanningarnar, ið vanliga verða gjørdar. Nú standa tær fyrstu stevnurnar fyri durum, og tí eigur serliga at verða ansað eftir, at bilarnir eru í lagi! |
In next week’s Sjónarhorn, Jákup Jacobsen will among other things explain these matters in more detail. | BLARK_translated | Í Sjónarhorninum í komandi viku greiðir Jákup Jacobsen m.a. nærri frá hesum viðurskiftum. |
But last week the Norwegians decided to follow the Swedes and set the limit down to 0.2 per mille. Thus the Swedes and Norwegians now have the strictest law in Europe regarding drunk driving, and thereby the much-discussed “driving pill” in Norway has effectively been outlawed by law. | BLARK_translated | Men í farnu viku hava norðmenn avgjørt at fylgja svium og seta markið niður á 0,2 promillu. Sostatt hava sviar og norðmenn nú strangastu lóg í Evropa um rúsdrekkakoyring og harvið er sostatt tann í Noregi nógv umrøddi "koyripilsnarin" avtikin við lóg. |
The new traffic law, which comes into effect on July 1, will among other things mean that the fines for violations of the traffic law will increase noticeably. | BLARK_translated | Nýggja ferðslulógin, sum kemur í gildi nú 1. juli, førir m.a. við sær, at bøturnar fyri brot á ferðslulógina fara at hækka so tað rættiliga merkist. |
In reality, the fines are now the same as in Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Í veruleikanum eru bøturnar nú tær somu sum í Danmark. |
The increase especially applies to violations of speed limits. Where Faroese people were previously accustomed to fines that were between 300 and 400 kroner, those individual fines are now in two-thousand-kroner notes. So this will really be noticeable. | BLARK_translated | Hækkingin er serliga galdandi fyri brot á ferðmørkini. Har føroyingar frammanundan vóru vanir við bøtur, sum lógu millum 3 og 400 krónur, so tátta einstaku bøturnar nú í tveir túsundkrónuseðlar. So hetta kemur veruliga at merkjast. |
Many know it. They are caught once while traveling between villages, perhaps receive a warning or a fine. Afterwards they feel safe, because this won't happen again. They think so. | BLARK_translated | Mong kenna tað. Tey verða tikin einaferð á ferð millum bygda, fáa kanska eina ávaring ella eina bót. Síðani kenna tey seg tryggan, tí hetta hendir ikki aftur. Halda tey. |
But a few kilometers further on the police are back in action, and the hammer falls. The police increasingly do more and more by conducting several such operations on the same stretch, and more than that it happens that the same people are apprehended more than once on the same day. | BLARK_translated | Men nakrar kilometrar longri frammi er løgreglan aftur á ferð, og hamarin fellur. Løgreglan ger meira og meira við at gera fleiri tílík tiltøk á sama strekki, og meira enn so kemur fyri, at somu fólk verða tikin meira enn eina ferð sama dag. |
And as mentioned, the cost of driving too fast will be multiplied after July 1, 2000! | BLARK_translated | Og sum nevnt, so verður kostnaðurin fyri at koyra ov skjótt fleirfaldaður eftir 1. juli 2000! |
Several stories have circulated recently that people have been acquitted even though the radar had judged them to be driving too fast. | BLARK_translated | Fleiri søgur hava gingið í seinastuni um, at fólk eru fríkend, hóast radarin hevur mett tey at koyra ov skjótt. |
These are only stories — the Faroese Court has not yet acquitted anyone where the radar measured the person as driving too fast. | BLARK_translated | Hetta eru bert søgur - Føroya Rættur hevur enn ongan fríkent, har radarin hevur mált viðkomandi at koyra ov skjótt. |
The radar measures the speed perfectly accurately and subtracts one kilometer. | BLARK_translated | Radarin mátar ferðina fullkomiliga nett og dregur ein kilometur frá. |
If someone is stopped and the police claim that they were driving 90 km/h, but the person themselves claims that the speedometer showed 80 km/h, what then? | BLARK_translated | Verður ein tikin og løgreglan pástendur, at ein koyrdi 90 km/t, men ein sjálvur pástendur, at kilometurvísarin vísti 80 km/t, hvat so? |
If a subsequent inspection shows that the speedometer indicated incorrectly, and actually showed that the car was going 80 when it was driving 90 km/h, what then? | BLARK_translated | Um nú ein eftirfylgjandi kanning vísir, at kilometurvísarin vísti skeivt, og veruliga vísti, at bilurin koyrdi 80, hóast hann koyrdi 90 km/t, hvat so? |
Now the time has come for Faroese people to travel abroad by car. It is therefore worth once again reminding about the red card from the insurance companies. | BLARK_translated | Nú er tíðin komin at føroyingar fara uttanlands við bili. Vert er tí einaferð enn at minna á reyða kortið frá tryggingarfeløgunum. |
The card is available free of charge and includes international SOS insurance, which, among other things, covers assistance throughout Europe and, for example, a free rental car if one is seriously ill or injured. | BLARK_translated | Kortið fæst ókeypis og umfatar altjóða SOS-tryggingina, sum m.a. umfatar hjálp kring alt Evropa og eitt nú ókeypis leigubil, um ein kemur heilt illa fyri. |
Last week the police warned several times that if people had not paid road tax, they would start cutting license plates off cars. This was most recently mentioned on the traffic program Breytini on Radio 2 on Friday.

On July 1 the blood-alcohol limit will be 0.5 and the limit for drunk driving 0.8. In the program Breytini on Channel 2 on Friday, Jan Fossaberg from the traffic police said that more people can be expected to fall foul of the blood-alcohol limit after July 1. He estimated that this would also be a period of adjustment... | BLARK_translated | Tann 1. juli verður promillumarkið 0.5 og markið fyri rúsdrekkakoyring 0.8. Í sendingini Breytini á Rás 2 fríggjadagin segði Jan Fossaberg frá ferðsluløgregluni, at fleiri kunnu væntast at fara at falla fyri promillumarkinum eftir 1. juli. Hann metti, at talan her eisini fór at verða um eitt tillagingartíðarskeið, har ... |
Last weekend Útvarp Føroya reported that the new Traffic Act had already come into force. The reason was that the Regulations Gazette had been published and that Anfinn Kallsberg, the Prime Minister, had signed Regulation No. 68 on May 10. Thus many believed that the Traffic Act had now been announced and had come into... | BLARK_translated | Seinasta vikuskiftið bar Útvarp Føroya, at nýggja ferðslulógin longu var komin í gildi. Orsøkin var, at Kunngerðarblaðið var útkomið, og at Anfinn Kallsberg, løgmaður, hevði undirskrivað kunngerð nr. 68 tann 10. mai. Sostatt hildu fleiri, at nú var ferðslulógin kunngjørd og komin í gildi. Men í grein 59g stk. 2. stendu... |
All passengers in cars must wear seat belts at the point of departure. However, the provision in the new traffic law states that if a seat belt is available in the back seat, it must be used. Children must hereafter sit in seat belts, or in a child seat or similar equipment, if they are under 7 years old. The driver is... | BLARK_translated | Øll ferðandi í bili skulu í útgangspunktinum sita í trygdarbelti. Men ásetingin í nýggju ferðslulógini sigur kortini, at um setur við trygdarbelti er tøkt á baksetrinum, so skal trygdarbeltið nýtast. Børn skulu hereftir sita í trygdarbelti, ella í barnastóli ella líknandi útgerð, um tey eru undir 7 ár. Bilførarin hevur... |
Those who write in Sjónarhornið are people who are experts in traffic matters — or people who have an interest — or expertise, when it comes to travel and transportation. | BLARK_translated | Tey sum skriva í Sjónarhornið eru fólk, sum vara av í ferðslumálum - ella fólk, sum hava áhuga - ella serkunnleika, tá talan er um ferð og ferðslu. |
The first post was written by Finnbogi Arge, Minister of Transport, on April 17 this year. | BLARK_translated | Fyrsta innleggið skrivaði Finnbogi Arge, landsstýrismaður í ferðslumálum, 17 apríl í ár. |
Information and discussion about traffic safety are of decisive importance for people's behavior in traffic. There is no doubt, for example, that especially the Road Traffic Safety Council, through information, has succeeded in influencing people's attitudes when it comes to driving and alcohol. The statistics clearly ... | BLARK_translated | Upplýsing og kjak um ferðslutryggleika er av avgerandi týdningi fyri atburðin hjá fólki í ferðsluni. Eingin ivi er t.d. um, at serliga Ráðið fyri Ferðslutrygd við upplýsing hevur megnað at ávirka hugburðin hjá fólki, tá tað snýr seg um koyring og rúsdrekka. Hagtølini vísa greitt, at talið á óhappum, har rúsdrekka hevur... |
The number of cars increases every year, and because of this traffic density increases. It is becoming increasingly common that the home is in one place and work is in another. People also drive more and more in their leisure time, not just in this country but also abroad. | BLARK_translated | Talið av bilum økist hvørt ár, og av hesum økist ferðslutættleikin. Tað verður alt meira vanligt, at bústaðurin er á einum staði og arbeitt verður á einum øðrum staði. Koyrt verður eisini meir og meir í frítíðini, ikki bert her í landinum, men eisini í útlondum. |
One consequence of that increased traffic is unfortunately more accidents involving cars. Accidents that bring human suffering and the loss of great value. | BLARK_translated | Ein fylgja av teirri øktu ferðsluni er tíverri fleiri óhapp, har bilar eru við. Óhapp, ið bera við sær menniskjansligar líðingar og miss av stórum virðum. |
In my first post in Sjónarhornið I want to say a little about what it’s like to be the “wet man,” i.e. the one who cycles in traffic in the Faroe Islands. There should be space for everyone — including those who don’t want to travel by car. These can be people who go for a walk, those who run a few kilometers, or those... | BLARK_translated | Eg vil í mínum fyrsta innleggi í Sjónarhornið siga eitt sindur um, hvussu tað er at vera tann "bleyti maðurin" t.e. tann, sum súkklar í ferðsluni í Føroyum.Tað skal vera pláss fyri øllum - eisini teimum, ið ikki vilja flyta seg við bili. Hesi kunnu vera tey, ið ganga sær ein túr, tey ið renna nakrar kilometrar, ella te... |
The Technical Administration of Tórshavn Municipality often receives comments from people that nothing is being done about the various roads in the town, and journalists publish sensational headlines — such as 'death traps'. In our view, such headlines do not reflect objective journalism, because in reality work on tra... | BLARK_translated | Tekniska umsiting hjá Tórshavnar Kommunu fær ofta viðmerkingar frá fólki um, at einki verður gjørt við teir ymsu vegirnir í Havnini, ja tíðindafólk hava stórar sensatioónsyvirskriftir - so sum 'deyðsfellur'. Slíkar yvirskriftir bera, eftir okkara meting, ikki brá av objektivum journalistikki, tí í roynd og verðu verður... |
We, as drivers, like to think that what I do is right or has no fault. We only see the faults of others, but look at yourself and ask: | BLARK_translated | Vit hava, sum bilførarar, hug at halda, at tað, sum eg geri, er rætt ella hevur einki uppá seg. Vit síggja bara feilirnar hjá hinum, men hygg at tær sjálvum og spyr: |
What about me — am I as good a driver as I think I am? What can I do better when I get into the car today? | BLARK_translated | Hvat við mær, eri eg ein so góður bilførari, sum eg haldi meg vera? Hvat kann eg gera betri, tá eg seti meg í bilin í dag? |
There is no doubt that we could then have come up with something that we ourselves could have improved. | BLARK_translated | Eingin ivi er um, at vit tá kundu komið fram á okkurt, ið vit sjálvi kundu bøtt um. |
I have always wondered that when people talk about speed, and especially about speed while driving, most agree that one should drive carefully— and not too fast. But when someone then gets behind the wheel, the traffic law is treated as an obstacle— a law that can be broken if "no one sees"— and that does not really se... | BLARK_translated | Eg havi altíð undrast á, at, tá ið tosað verður um ferðslu, og serliga um ferðina í ferðsluni, so eru flest á einum máli um, at koyrt skal verða við skili - og ikki ov skjótt. Men tá ið ein so setir seg við róðrið, so verður ferðslulógin hildin at verða ein forðing - ein lóg, ið kann verða brotin, um "eingin sær" - og ... |
Although information plays an important role in traffic safety, it must at the same time be ensured that the legal frameworks support a good traffic culture. | BLARK_translated | Hóast upplýsing hevur ein týðandi leiklut í ferðslutrygdini, eigur tó samstundis at verða tryggjað, at lógarkarmarnir stuðla uppundir góðu ferðslumentanina. |
Although a long waiting period is expected, several of the changes proposed are likely to improve traffic safety. | BLARK_translated | Hóast langa bíðitíð er væntandi, at fleiri av broytingunum, sum eru í uppskoti, fara at bøta um ferðslutrygdina. |
The committee's proposal has also been changed so that the limit for driving under the influence of alcohol and intoxicants is lowered from 0.8 to 0.5 per mille, and from 1.2 to 0.8 per mille, respectively. | BLARK_translated | Uppskotið hjá nevndini er eisini broytt soleiðis, at markið fyri promillu- og rúsdrekkakoyring ávíkavist lækkar úr 0,8 niður í 0,5 promillu, og úr 1,2 niður í 0,8 promillu. |
If all these changes are adopted, they will hopefully improve road safety so that the number of traffic accidents causing personal injury continues to decline. | BLARK_translated | Um allar hesar broytingar verða samtyktar, fara tær vónandi at bøta um ferðslutrygdina, so talið á ferðsluóhappum við persónsskaða verður í støðugari minking. |
There is no doubt, however, that the Traffic Act contains other adjustments and updates for the needs. | BLARK_translated | Eingin ivi er tó um, at ferðslulógin hevur aðrar tillagingar og dagføringar fyri neyðini. |
I hope that all those representatives who receive a request to participate in the group will agree to take part in such work. | BLARK_translated | Eg vóni, at øll tey umboð, sum fáa eina áheitan um at luttaka í bólkinum, fara at játta at luttaka í einum slíkum arbeiði. |
Let me finally praise RFF for a good and very interesting website, which will undoubtedly play a major role when the public needs to be informed about the changes to the traffic law that will hopefully be made at regular intervals in the future. | BLARK_translated | Lat meg at enda rósa RFF fyri eina góða og sera áhugaverda heimasíðu, sum óivað fer at fáa ein stóran leiklut, tá ið almenningurin skal kunnast um tær broytingar í ferðslulógini, sum vónandi fara at verða gjørdar við jøvnum millumbilum í framtíðini. |
Traffic culture is a word that is often used, but to tell the truth, we in the Faroe Islands do not have any particular traffic culture to speak of. Most people who visit here are surprised that we stop for pedestrians when they are about to cross the road, and of course that is a good thing, but that is all there is t... | BLARK_translated | Ferðslumentan er eitt orð, sum ofta er nýtt, men tá ið sannleikan skal sigast, so hava vit í Føroyum ikki nakra serliga ferðslumentan at reypa av. Flestu fólk, sum koma á vitjan her, eru ovfarin av, at vit halda aftur fyri fótgangarum, tá ið tey skulu yvir um vegin, og tað er sjálvandi eisini ein góð gerð, men so er al... |
The message is that those traveling must remember that they are not alone on the road, and that consideration should be shown for others in traffic. | BLARK_translated | Boðskapurin er, at tey ferðandi mugu hugsa um, at tey ikki eru einsamøll á gøtuni, og at tað eiga at vera tikin fyrilit fyri øðrum í ferðsluni. |
It is pleasing to read in the post by Finnbogi Arge, the minister, that the plan is to set up a group to advise the Ministry of Trade and Industry on transport matters, and let it be made clear immediately that if it were to happen that the Drivers’ Association was asked to be part of the group, we would have accepted ... | BLARK_translated | Tað er gleðiligt at lesa í innlegginum hjá Finnboga Arge, landsstýrismanni, at ætlanin er at seta ein bólk at ráðgeva Vinnumálastýrinum í ferðslumálum, og lat tað vera sligið fast beinanvegin, at skuldi tað hent, at Aksturvinnufelagið fekk áheitan um at vera við í bólkinum, so høvdu vit tikið av beinanvegin. |
Few people could imagine being without a car. It is a handy tool for us. For some it is something more. It is given that the car quickly and conveniently meets our transportation needs. | BLARK_translated | Tað eru tey fæstu, sum kundu hugsað sær at verið bilin fyri uttan. Hann er eitt hent brúksamboð hjá okkum. Fyri nøkur er hann nakað meir. Givið er tað, at bilurin á ein skjótan og hóskandi hátt loysir okkara flutningstørv. |
That said, one can ask: Why do these accidents happen? Aren’t the cars becoming better and safer? Aren’t the roads becoming better and safer? Aren’t the drivers becoming better prepared? | BLARK_translated | Tá ið tað er sagt, so kann verða spurt: Hví henda hesi óhapp? Verða bilarnir ikki betri og tryggari? Verða vegirnir ikki betri og tryggari? Verða bilførararnir ikki betur útbúnir? |
Yes, the cars are becoming better, the roads are also becoming better, and the training of the new drivers is probably better than before. But that does not mean that drivers will be better able to drive, because the weak link in all driving is the driver. Very few accidents do not happen because of human error. | BLARK_translated | Jú, bilarnir verða betri, vegirnir verða eisini betri, og útbúgvingin av teimum nýggju bilførarunum er ivaleyst eisini betri enn fyrr. Men kortini er ikki sagt, at bilførararnir verða betur førir fyri at koyra bil, tí tað veika liðið í allari bilkoyring er førarin. Tað eru ógvuliga fá óhapp, sum ikki henda av mannaávum... |
It is a great responsibility a driver takes on when he sits behind the wheel of a car. And this responsibility must be taken very seriously! Whoever drives a car must watch the other drivers, the roads and the vehicle. We see far too many accidents that are caused by the driver having to: | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein stór ábyrgd, bilførari tekur á seg, tá ið hann setur seg við róðrið í einum bili. Og henda ábyrgd má verða tikin í mesta álvara! Tann, ið koyrir bil, skal hyggja eftir hinum bilførarunum, vegnum og bilinum. Vit síggja alt ov nógv óhapp, ið standast av, at bilførarin skuldi: |
because people do not think about the parking itself. Far too often the door is slammed into another car, or damage is done to one’s own car, because people do not consider that it is windy. | BLARK_translated | tí hugsað verður ikki um sjálva parkeringina. Alt ov ofta verður hurðin brostin í annan bil, ella skaði verður gjørdur á egnan bil, tí hugsað verður ikki um, at tað er vindur. |
Far too many accidents are caused by the driver overestimating their own abilities. The causes in this category are usually: | BLARK_translated | Alt ov nógv óhapp standast av, at førarin hevur yvirmett síni egnu evni. Orsøkirnar í hesum bólki eru oftast: |
Some types of medication have the same effect as alcoholic drinks, and therefore one should be careful about driving a car while taking this kind of medication. | BLARK_translated | Nøkur sløg av heilivági hava somu ávirkan sum rúsdrekka, og tískil skal ein vera varin at koyra bil, samstundis sum hetta slagið av heilivági verður tikið. |
As one grows older, reaction abilities worsen; for example, vision and hearing may not be the same as before. With modern traffic there isn’t much time to think and “react” before it’s too late. Therefore age is a problem for some drivers. | BLARK_translated | Tá ið ein eldist, verða versna viðbragdsevnini, eins og sjónin og hoyrnin kanska ikki eru tað sama sum fyrr. Við teirri nútíðar ferðslu er ikki so nógv tíð at hugsa seg um og "reagera", áðrenn tað er ov seint. Tí er aldurin ein trupulleiki hjá nøkrum bilførarum. |
New cars are usually safe and have good driving characteristics. But despite that, a driver can quickly overestimate the car's capabilities. Several factors greatly affect a car's driving performance, such as: worn tires, worn shock absorbers, worn brakes. Even if the car is new and everything is fine, there is a limit... | BLARK_translated | Nýggir bilar eru aloftast tryggir og hava góðar koyrieginleikar. Men hóast tað kann ein bilførari skjótt yvirmeta eginleikarnar hjá bilinum. Fleiri viðurskifti hava stóran týdning fyri koyrieginleikarnar hjá bilinum sum t.d.: slitin dekk, slitnir stoytdoyvarar, slitnar bremsur. Sjálvt um bilurin er nýggjur, og alt er í... |
We are not alone on the road. We are all connected by the fact that traffic moves in interaction with others in the traffic, such as car drivers, pedestrians and animals, which can also be on the road. | BLARK_translated | Vit eru ikki einsamøll á vegnum. Vit eru øll bundin av, at ferðslan glíður í samanspæli við hini í ferðsluni, sum t.d. bilførarar, fótgangarar og djór, sum eisini kunnu vera á vegnum. |
If we show kindness and respect for one another, it becomes easier, and we have a positive experience being in traffic. Often eye contact between two drivers or between pedestrians and a driver can prevent an accident. | BLARK_translated | Vísa vit góðsemi og virðing fyri hvørjum øðrum, gongur tað lættari, og vit fáa eina positiva uppliving av at vera í ferðsluni. Ofta kann eygnasamband millum tveir bilførarar ella millum fótgangara og bilførara fyribyrgja einum óhappi. |
We will still drive a car — this means great usefulness in this means of transport — we just need to do it thoughtfully. | BLARK_translated | Vit skulu framvegis koyra bil - tað er stór nytta í hesum flutningstóli - vit skulu bara gera tað við umhugsan. |
In my first post in Sjónarhornið I want to say a little about what it is like to be the “wet man,” i.e. the one who cycles in traffic in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Eg vil í mínum fyrsta innleggi í Sjónarhornið siga eitt sindur um, hvussu tað er at vera tann "bleyti maðurin" t.e. tann, sum súkklar í ferðsluni í Føroyum. |
There should be space for everyone — including those who do not want to travel by car. These can be people who go for a walk, those who run a few kilometers, or those who want to get on a bike and enjoy the beautiful nature that we Faroese have everywhere, wherever we turn. | BLARK_translated | Tað skal vera pláss fyri øllum - eisini teimum, ið ikki vilja flyta seg við bili. Hesi kunnu vera tey, ið ganga sær ein túr, tey ið renna nakrar kilometrar, ella tey ið vilja seta seg á súkkluna og njóta ta vøkru náttúruna, ið vit føroyingar hava allastaðni, hvar enn vit venda okkum. |
The trip is not only a beautiful nature experience; no, you also avoid worrying about the many cars in Faroese traffic — including those drivers who might decide to overtake without watching out carefully for sheep and cyclists. | BLARK_translated | Túrurin er ikki einans eitt vakurt náttúruupplivilsi, nei, tú sleppur eisini undan at stúra fyri teimum mongu bilunum í føroysku ferðsluni - eisini teimum bilførarum, ið kunnu finna uppá at yvirhála uttan at hyggja nóg væl eftir seyði og súkklarum. |
More bicycles are taken out of the cellars, and more people enjoy the Faroese nature on a bicycle. | BLARK_translated | Fleiri súkklur verða tiknar úr kjallarunum, og fleiri fólk njóta føroysku náttúruna á einum hjólhesti. |
As an example, consider when a driver is about to pull out onto a main road: Yes, he sees a cyclist about 100 metres from the side road and probably thinks he has plenty of time, so he drives out onto the main road. But the cyclist is going so fast that before anyone notices, the cyclist and the car meet, and with a bi... | BLARK_translated | Sum dømi kann nevnast, tá ið bilførari skal út á ein høvuðsveg: Jú, hann sær ein súkklara einar 100 metrar frá síðugøtuni og hugsar helst, at hann hevur góðar stundir og koyrir tí út á høvuðsvegin. Men súkklarin hevur so mikið nógva ferð, at áðrenn nakar varnast, møtast bæði súkklan og bilurin, og við eitt sindur av ei... |
What should be done about roads that are called "death traps"? | BLARK_translated | Hvat er at gera við vegir, ið verða nevndir "deyðsfellur"? |
