Laerdal tunnel

Has anyone had the pleasure of driving through this tunnel ?
I believe it's in Norway and incredible 15.2 miles long !! Just think of the sound a few tvrs would make !!!
Longest tunnel in the world ?
I know everyone goes to LM every year, maybe this should be added to the yearly calendar .

Good Grief ! That looks a bit weird, just pulling over in the middle of a tunnel ?
Wasn't anyone worried about being T-boned whilst doing a doughnut in the middle of a through way ?
Or have I misunderstood the layout ?

Possibly, we were all parked well off of the road in one of the emergency safety areas.

There was only the one car that did the donut in the middle of the road, so yes there was the possibility of traffic but if I remember correctly we went quite late at night and didn't see any traffic. There wer also quite a few radios in circulation so we could communicate during the filming.
