Denmark Motorcycle Theory A study plan
Denmark Motorcycle Theory A · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Milestones
Week 2: Score 80% or better on a 40-question set covering domains 1 and 2, and justify every right-of-way answer in writing
Week 4: Score 80% or better on a timed 50-question mock covering domains 1 to 4, with a complete error log
Week 6: Score 85% or better on domains 5 and 6 and 90% or better on domain 7, and complete the pre-ride checklist unaided
Week 8: Score 90% or better on at least two of three full-length mocks and have no unresolved items in the error notebook
