Denmark Motorcycle Theory A2 study guide
Denmark Motorcycle Theory A2 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Danish A2 motorcycle theory examination is the written test you sit before you can be issued a category A2 licence, which covers light and medium motorcycles. In practice it is aimed at riders who have completed, or are completing, the compulsory rider training and now need to demonstrate that they understand the rules of the road, vehicle handling and the risks specific to two wheels. The Denmark Motorcycle Theory A2 study guide has 10 sections and about 3,768 words.
01Traffic rules and road signs
This domain covers the Danish road-traffic rules in practice: priority, signs, signals, lane position, general speed limits, junctions, roundabouts and behaviour towards pedestrians and cyclists. A2 candidates must choose the legally correct action in a situation, not merely the polite one.
428 words, about 2 min02Vehicle control and braking
This domain tests smooth control of an A2 motorcycle: moving off, low-speed balance, steering, cornering, using both brakes and performing an emergency stop. A2 machines are lighter and less powerful than full A machines, but the physics of grip, weight transfer and braking are the same.
391 words, about 2 min03Hazard perception and defensive riding
This domain tests whether you spot developing hazards early and choose a safe speed, position and escape route. Danish roads mix motorcycles with cyclists, pedestrians, buses, tractors and right-turning heavy vehicles, so the exam rewards scanning and anticipation rather than reaction alone.
376 words, about 2 min04Rider equipment and protective clothing
This domain tests what the law requires and what actually protects a rider in a fall. In Denmark a crash helmet is compulsory for motorcycle riders and passengers.
391 words, about 2 min05Motorcycle construction, maintenance and technical condition
This domain tests whether you understand your A2 machine's legal limits, safety-critical components and simple checks. An A2 motorcycle may have a maximum power of 35 kW, a power-to-weight ratio no higher than 0.2 kW/kg and must not be derived from a machine producing more than 70 kW.
379 words, about 2 min06Alcohol, drugs, medication and fatigue
This domain tests your knowledge of Denmark's alcohol limit, drug rules, medication warnings and the effects of fatigue. Motorcycling demands balance, vision and quick decisions, so even small amounts of alcohol or sedating medicine matter more than they do in a car.
368 words, about 2 min07Speed, following distance and stopping distance
This domain tests whether you can choose a safe speed and a following distance that leaves room to stop. The exam expects you to apply the two-second rule and to understand that braking distance grows with the square of speed.
355 words, about 2 min08Accident handling, first aid and emergency procedures
This domain tests your immediate actions at a motorcycle crash: protecting the scene, alerting emergency services, giving first aid and avoiding further injury. Danish law recognises a duty to help a person in danger when you can do so without serious risk to yourself.
363 words, about 2 min09Vehicle documents, insurance and liability
This domain tests the paperwork and liability side of riding: licence entitlement, registration, mandatory insurance, inspection and what to do after a collision. A motorcycle must be registered and covered by compulsory third-party liability insurance to be used on the road.
366 words, about 2 min10Attitudes, risk awareness and behaviour in traffic
This domain tests the mindset behind safe riding: how you judge risk, resist pressure and take responsibility for your own choices. Motorcyclists are physically unprotected, so attitude and self-control are part of the safety system, not a soft topic.
