Pissed Norwegian reveller skips out on massive taxi bill
A taxi driver that had hauled a well-oiled Norwegian passenger for six hours from Copenhagen to Oslo on New Year’s Day was forced to contact Norwegian police after the man left the vehicle and went into his flat without paying the12,500 kroner bill. When police arrived on the scene, they found the man in his bed asleep, and still quite inebriated. The man used his credit card to pay the outstanding bill. The taxi driver’s long night wasn’t quite finished, however. While he waited for either the customer to pay or the cops to show, the battery in his taxi died, and he was forced to call a rescue vehicle.
