Denmark Motorcycle Theory A study plan

Denmark Motorcycle Theory A · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules and road signs & Right-of-way, intersections and roundabouts

  • Map every Danish road-sign family (warning, prohibition, mandatory, information, priority) and state the required rider action for each sign without prompting

  • Recite the core traffic-rule obligations for motorcycles: placement in the lane, overtaking, turning across oncoming traffic, and signalling timing

  • Explain the difference between a yield obligation and a stop obligation, and identify which signs and markings create each

  • Solve 30 right-of-way scenarios involving unmarked junctions, left-turn across oncoming traffic, and emerging from a driveway or field road

  • Log every wrong answer in a personal error notebook with the rule that was missed

Your checkpoint

A one-page sign-and-priority cheat sheet plus a scored 40-question mixed set on domains 1 and 2 at 80% or better

Week 2

Traffic rules and road signs & Right-of-way, intersections and roundabouts

  • Work through roundabout entry and exit rules, including signalling on exit and lane choice for left and right turns

  • Resolve right-of-way cases involving pedestrians at crossings, cyclists in cycle lanes, and buses leaving a stop

  • Practise reading intersection layouts from written descriptions and decide who yields in each case

  • Re-test the domain 1 and 2 questions missed in week 1 and confirm each is now answered correctly with a stated reason

Your checkpoint

A written set of 20 solved right-of-way cases with a one-line justification each, reviewed against the official rule text

Week 3

Speed limits, stopping distance and safe following distance & Motorcycle-specific hazards: visibility, road surface, weather and wind

  • State the Danish general speed limits for built-up areas, rural roads, and motorways, and explain how to recognise a changed limit from signs

  • Compute stopping distance as reaction distance plus braking distance at 30, 50, 80, and 110 km/h, and explain how wet or gravel surfaces change the result

  • Apply the two-second rule and describe how to adjust following distance for rain, darkness, and a loaded motorcycle

  • Identify the main motorcycle-specific surface hazards: gravel, wet markings, tram rails, oil at junctions, and painted arrows

  • Describe how wind, especially crosswind and gusts when passing trucks or leaving shelter, affects rider stability and line choice

Your checkpoint

A completed speed-and-distance table with worked calculations for four speeds on dry and wet surfaces, plus a 10-point hazard list

Week 4

Speed limits, stopping distance and safe following distance & Motorcycle-specific hazards: visibility, road surface, weather and wind & Traffic rules and road signs

  • Combine speed choice, sight distance, and surface conditions to justify a safe speed for ten described road situations

  • Explain visibility strategies: positioning to be seen, using the mirrors and shoulder checks, and avoiding blind spots of trucks and cars

  • Answer mixed questions on speed, distance, and hazards under time pressure and review every miss

  • Summarise how weather changes both grip and visibility, and state the riding adjustment for each condition

Your checkpoint

A timed 50-question mock covering domains 1 to 4, scored and fully reviewed with an error log

Week 5

Rider equipment, protective clothing and passenger rules & Vehicle knowledge, tyres, brakes and basic maintenance checks

  • List the mandatory and recommended protective equipment for Danish riders and explain what each item protects against

  • State the helmet law, the rules for carrying a passenger, and the requirements for a passenger's equipment and seating

  • Perform and document a pre-ride check covering tyres, tyre pressure, tread, brakes, lights, chain or belt, and fluid levels

  • Explain how tyre condition, wear, and pressure affect grip and braking, and identify the signs of a worn or damaged tyre

  • Describe basic brake system checks and what a rider should notice as warning signs of brake problems

Your checkpoint

A signed pre-ride checklist completed on a real or simulated motorcycle, plus a 30-question set on domains 5 and 6 at 85% or better

Week 6

Vehicle knowledge, tyres, brakes and basic maintenance checks & Alcohol, drugs, medication, fatigue and fitness to ride

  • Explain how alcohol is eliminated and why time, not coffee or food, is the only way to sober up, and state the Danish limits that apply to riding

  • Describe how medication and drugs can impair riding and why the package leaflet and a doctor's advice matter

  • Identify the signs of fatigue and state concrete countermeasures before and during a ride

  • Explain how fitness to ride interacts with illness, poor sleep, and stress, and decide when not to ride

  • Re-test the domain 6 maintenance questions missed in week 5

Your checkpoint

A personal fitness-to-ride decision card covering alcohol, medication, fatigue, and illness, plus a 20-question set on domain 7 at 90% or better

Week 7

Accident behaviour, first aid and emergency procedures & Traffic rules and road signs & Right-of-way, intersections and roundabouts

  • State the correct sequence of actions at a motorcycle accident: secure the scene, warn traffic, call emergency services, and give the information they need

  • Demonstrate the recovery position and describe when it must not be used

  • List what to do and what not to do for a crashed rider, including helmet handling and suspected spinal injury

  • Explain how to give first aid for bleeding and shock within the limits of a rider's training

  • Re-run mixed questions from domains 1, 2, and 8 and confirm every previously missed item is now correct

Your checkpoint

A written accident-response script of numbered steps plus a 25-question set on domain 8 at 90% or better

Week 8

Traffic rules and road signs & Right-of-way, intersections and roundabouts & Speed limits, stopping distance and safe following distance & Motorcycle-specific hazards: visibility, road surface, weather and wind & Rider equipment, protective clothing and passenger rules & Vehicle knowledge, tyres, brakes and basic maintenance checks & Alcohol, drugs, medication, fatigue and fitness to ride & Accident behaviour, first aid and emergency procedures

  • Take three full-length timed mock exams and record the score and the domain of every miss

  • Re-study only the weakest two domains, using the error notebook rather than new material

  • Rehearse the accident-response script and the pre-ride checklist from memory without notes

  • Confirm the speed-and-distance calculations and the right-of-way rules one final time before the test

Your checkpoint

Three completed mock exams with scores logged, all misses resolved, and a final one-page review sheet
