Alcoholism is one of the biggest problems in Lofoten.
So watch out if you're driving (or taking a walk). It doesn't
matter how good a driver you are if you happen to face
one who's dead drunk, so I hope you won't.

If you walk between villages in Lofoten, you may find yourself having to share the road with cars, trucks, and coaches. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of traffic - this isn't the coastal road in California! I noticed that often the traffic was "bunched together" - it came in clumps, immediately after the arrival of the ferries. Most of the roads that I saw were in very good shape - but there are a number of blind curbs, so do take caution.
