Denmark Category C/E Heavy Trailer Theory Test case studies
Denmark Category C/E Heavy Trailer Theory Test · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Danish C/E theory test is the written step towards the heavy-trailer entitlement added to a Category C lorry licence. It is aimed at drivers who already hold C and want to pull trailers above the weight threshold that separates light trailers from heavy combinations - typically articulated units and drawbar combinations used in distribution, construction and long-haul work. The test is delivered in Danish on a computer at an approved test centre, using multiple-choice questions. Content follows the national driver-training curriculum: traffic law and signage as they apply to long, heavy vehicles, coupling and articulation, masses and dimensions, stability and handling, load securing and weight distribution, air brakes and coupling checks, driver hours and tachograph rules, hazard perception, vehicle defects and inspection, plus first aid and economical driving. The Denmark Category C/E Heavy Trailer Theory Test case studies are 5 cases and about 3,118 words.
