Nils Espen Lilleheim from Ålesund received a 109-krone bill for driving a mini-camper on a private toll road at Dovrefjell, despite no signage indicating an extra charge for caravans. He paid 50 kroner for the car, but later received a bill for 109 kroner, including 30 kroner for the trailer, 69 kroner for 'storage and lookup', and 10 kroner administrative fee. NAF criticizes the lack of information on signs, and Finter, the billing company, promises to review signage and website information. The case is also linked to a lawsuit against Riverty over the legality of such fees.
