Denmark Motorcycle Theory A1 study plan

Denmark Motorcycle Theory A1 · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules and road signs

  • Map every Danish road-sign group (warning, priority, prohibition, mandatory, information) and state the required action for each sign without looking at notes

  • Recite the default right-hand priority rule and list at least six situations where signs, markings, or exit-from-roundabout rules override it

  • Explain Danish speed-limit defaults for built-up areas, rural roads, and motorways, and describe how a limit is cancelled or changed

  • Describe the meaning of the most common road markings (solid and dashed lines, stop line, give-way triangles, cycle lanes) and where overtaking is prohibited

  • Walk through priority-to-the-right at an unmarked junction and at a T-junction, naming who yields in each case

Your checkpoint

Handwritten one-page sign and priority cheat sheet, self-tested to 90 percent correct on 40 mixed rule and sign questions

Week 2

Traffic rules and road signs & Rider behavior and interaction with other road users

  • Sequence the correct actions at a four-way or T-junction: observe, signal, position, adjust speed, then turn, and describe the order out loud

  • List the situations where you must yield to pedestrians, cyclists, and turning buses, and state the blind-spot check before every turn

  • Explain the Danish rules on overtaking, including when overtaking a two-wheeler requires extra lateral clearance and when it is forbidden

  • Describe how to enter and leave a roundabout, including indicator use and yielding to traffic already circulating

  • State the obligations when a bus pulls out from a stop and when an emergency vehicle approaches with signals on

Your checkpoint

Written junction checklist covering five junction types, each with a step-by-step action sequence and the yield rule applied

Week 3

Traffic rules and road signs & Rider behavior and interaction with other road users

  • Describe correct lane position and signalling for left and right turns, including one-way streets and cycle-lane crossings

  • Explain the rules for parking and stopping, including distance to junctions, crossings, and bus stops

  • List the situations that require you to reduce speed or stop for a vulnerable road user, and state what a safe following gap looks like in traffic

  • Describe how to behave around large vehicles: blind spots, turning sweep, and why you should never sit alongside a turning lorry

  • Summarise the rules on carrying a passenger and on riding two abreast, and state when filtering past queued traffic is unsafe

Your checkpoint

Ten-scenario written quiz on interaction and priority, answered with a stated rule reference for each answer

Week 4

Vehicle knowledge, controls, and maintenance & Riding technique and vehicle handling

  • Identify every control on an A1 motorcycle (throttle, clutch, both brakes, indicators, horn, kill switch, choke or fuel tap) and state what each does in a pre-ride check

  • Perform and describe the daily and weekly maintenance checks: tyre pressure and tread, chain tension and lubrication, brake function, lights, and fluid levels

  • Explain the countersteering principle and how lean angle, speed, and turning radius relate at low and higher speeds

  • Describe correct braking technique on a motorcycle, including the front-to-rear brake balance and why locking the front wheel is dangerous

  • List the A1 machine limits (engine capacity up to 125 cc, maximum power 11 kW, power-to-weight ratio) and how they affect riding technique on a light bike

Your checkpoint

Completed pre-ride inspection checklist performed on a real or simulated bike, signed off with all items verified and explained

Week 5

Hazard perception and defensive riding & Speed, stopping distance, and road conditions

  • Calculate stopping distance at 30, 50, and 80 km/h using the reaction-distance plus braking-distance split, and state how wet or gravel surfaces change the result

  • Identify at least eight hazard categories from a written road scene description and rank them by likelihood and severity

  • Explain how to scan ahead, use mirrors, and maintain a space cushion, and describe the escape route you would choose in three described situations

  • Describe how speed affects impact severity and why a lower speed gives more time to react to a hazard emerging from a side road

  • State the risks of riding in rain, on wet markings, in crosswinds, and on gravel, and the riding adjustments each requires

Your checkpoint

Stopping-distance table for five speeds on dry and wet surfaces, plus a written hazard-ranking exercise on three described scenes

Week 6

Hazard perception and defensive riding & Alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and fitness to ride

  • Explain how alcohol, drugs, and medicines affect reaction time, balance, and risk-taking, and state the Danish blood-alcohol limit for riding

  • Describe the consequences of riding under the influence, including licence loss and criminal liability, and how long alcohol stays in the body

  • List the signs of fatigue and the countermeasures that work versus those that do not, and state when you must stop riding

  • Describe how illness, eyesight, and hearing affect fitness to ride, and when you must declare a condition to the licensing authority

  • Build a personal plan for a night out that removes any possibility of riding after drinking

Your checkpoint

Written fitness-to-ride policy of at least 300 words covering alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and illness, with personal rules you will follow

Week 7

First aid and emergency response & Licensing rules, A1 category limits, and documentation

  • Sequence the first-aid steps at a motorcycle crash scene: secure the scene, call emergency services, assess responsiveness, and manage bleeding and airway

  • State when and how to remove a helmet from an injured rider, and why you usually should not

  • Explain the recovery position and how to handle suspected spinal injury until help arrives

  • List the A1 licence requirements and documents: age, theory and practical tests, medical self-declaration, and what you must carry when riding

  • Describe the rules on carrying a pillion passenger under A1 and on riding abroad with a Danish licence

Your checkpoint

Written emergency action card for a crash scene, plus a completed A1 licensing and documentation checklist

Week 8

Traffic rules and road signs & Rider behavior and interaction with other road users & Hazard perception and defensive riding

  • Complete a full mixed mock theory test under timed conditions and score at least the pass mark

  • Review every wrong answer from the mock test and write the correct rule beside each one

  • Re-test the weakest two domains identified in the mock until each reaches 90 percent correct

  • Recite the ten rules you most often got wrong from memory, without notes

Your checkpoint

Two timed mock tests with scores recorded, and a corrected error log covering every missed question

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80 percent on a 30-question rules and signs set, and explain the priority rule at an unmarked junction without notes
