Denmark Motorcycle Theory A study guide
Denmark Motorcycle Theory A · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Danish motorcycle theory examination (motorcykel teoriprøve) for category A is the written test you must pass before you can take the practical riding test for a full motorcycle licence in Denmark. It is aimed at riders moving up from a moped or car licence as well as at complete beginners, and it is delivered in Danish on a computer at an approved theory test centre. The Denmark Motorcycle Theory A study guide has 8 sections and about 3,907 words.
01Traffic rules and road signs
This domain tests whether you can read a Danish road scene quickly and act on it: sign families, road markings, lane discipline, and the rules that apply in towns, on rural roads and on motorways. The motorcycle test leans on it heavily because a rider has no crumple zone - a misread sign is an unprotected mistake.
518 words, about 3 min02Right-of-way, intersections and roundabouts
This domain asks one question in many disguises: who moves first? The Danish default is the right-hand rule, but signs, lights, road type and the direction of your turn all modify it - and exam questions are built on exactly those modifications.
466 words, about 2 min03Speed limits, stopping distance and safe following distance
This domain tests the numbers and the reasoning behind them: Danish speed limits, how stopping distance is composed, and how big a gap you must leave. Exam questions rarely ask for a limit alone - they set it in rain, behind a lorry, or on a blind crest.
463 words, about 2 min04Motorcycle-specific hazards: visibility, road surface, weather and wind
Motorcycles hide in traffic and are exposed to everything the road throws up. This domain tests whether you scan for surfaces and weather that would not trouble a car, and whether you position yourself to be seen rather than merely to see.
480 words, about 2 min05Rider equipment, protective clothing and passenger rules
This domain covers what you wear and who you may carry. It is the easiest domain to score in - the answers are largely legal requirements and straightforward physics - but loose wording about helmets and passengers costs marks every session.
483 words, about 2 min06Vehicle knowledge, tyres, brakes and basic maintenance checks
This domain tests whether you know what keeps a motorcycle roadworthy and how to check it before a ride. It rewards specific numbers - pressures, tread depth, chain slack - and a clear understanding of how a motorcycle actually stops.
464 words, about 2 min07Alcohol, drugs, medication, fatigue and fitness to ride
This domain tests your judgement about your own condition. The legal rules are simple; the exam questions are about the morning after, about prescription medicines, and about the fact that a motorcycle forgives far less than a car.
516 words, about 3 min08Accident behaviour, first aid and emergency procedures
This domain covers the minutes after a crash. Marking is lost on sequence errors - helping before securing the scene, or removing a helmet out of reflex.
