The Danish Category C theory test (Kørekort kategori C teoriprøve) is a computer-based multiple-choice examination required to obtain a driving licence for heavy goods vehicles over 3,500 kg in Denmark. It is aimed at professional drivers, transport workers and anyone who needs to drive a truck for work. The Denmark Category C Truck Theory Test study guide has 8 sections and about 3,699 words.
01Traffic rules and road signs for the Danish category C test
This domain tests Færdselsloven as it applies to a lorry over 3,500 kg: general right of way, the Danish speed limits, the sign families and the truck-specific bans. Most items are scenario questions - a junction, a sign combination, a road type - and you must pick the single lawful action, not merely the sensible one.
485 words, about 2 min02Vehicle knowledge: truck structure, systems and equipment
This domain examines whether you understand the hardware you are legally responsible for checking, and can name the order and the numbers. Expect questions on the air brake system, the auxiliary brakes, ABS/EBS, the coupling and the daily walk-around.
470 words, about 2 min03Driving technique and vehicle handling
This domain tests whether you can translate physics into habits: mass, height, brake heat and blind spots. The examiner expects you to reason from the vehicle's weight and centre of gravity, not to quote car-driving instincts.
477 words, about 2 min04Loading, axle loads and securing of cargo
This domain tests two linked skills: keeping the vehicle inside its permitted weights, and keeping the load on the vehicle. Questions often quote a weight, a position and a wheelbase, and expect you to reason rather than guess.
481 words, about 2 min05Driving and rest time rules (EU AETR and tachograph)
This domain tests the numbers in Regulation 561/2006 (AETR on non-EU journeys) and your practical use of the digital tachograph. Marks are lost on exact figures and on the order of split breaks.
459 words, about 2 min06Safety, emergency situations and first aid
This domain tests what you do in the first sixty seconds: securing the scene, calling for help correctly and giving basic life support. It also covers handling a vehicle that has failed under you at speed.
456 words, about 2 min07Environmentally friendly driving and fuel economy
This domain tests whether you can explain and demonstrate economical driving with a heavy vehicle: the physics of resistance, the correct use of gears and auxiliary brakes, and the operational habits that cut fuel and emissions. A lorry fights rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, gradient and acceleration.
452 words, about 2 min08Certificates of professional competence (CPC) and driver responsibilities
This domain tests the legal framework around you as a professional driver: the CPC you must hold, the documents you carry, and where your responsibility ends and the operator's begins. It is a favourite area for questions about pressure from an employer.
