(Oslo) Norway which has always prided itself on a sensible attitude towards sex has embarked on a novel way of promoting safe sex.
Now when men are on their way home by cab with that special someone they'll get a tip from the cabbie: a package of condoms.
The condom giveaway campaign is sponsored by the government to promote safe sex.
"We don't offer these to everyone. Most of them go to young people out on the town at night," taxi driver Karl Erik Roland told the Adresseavisen newspaper.
"I had a 16 year old in the cab with his mother. It was obvious that he wanted some free condoms, but didn't want to mention it with his mother around. He managed to sneak a hint anyway."
The manager of the taxi firm, Geir Lerdahl, says it's up to the driver to gauge whether to offer the contraceptives.
"The driver has to find the right passengers. You don't ask an elderly lady over 80 if she wants a four-pack. I have also told the drivers not to push the condoms - really the passenger should ask for them."
