Denmark Category D1/E Minibus & Trailer Theory Test study plan

Recite the core duty-of-care and general conduct rules in færdselsloven that apply to all drivers, and state where the special rules for category D1 vehicles sit in the regulation.

Classify ten everyday driving situations (junction, roundabout, pedestrian crossing, bus stop, motorway entry) by which priority rule decides them, and explain each decision aloud without notes.

List the speed limits that apply to a D1 minibus with trailer on motorway, rural road and urban road, and state which limit changes when the trailer is unbraked.

Compute the maximum permitted total train weight and the maximum trailer weight for a given D1 minibus specification, using plated masses rather than kerb weight.

Distinguish kerb weight, unladen weight, payload, maximum permissible mass and train weight, and explain in writing why the plated figures govern loading decisions.

Measure a described combination against the length, width and height limits, including the rear overhang rule, and justify each pass or fail.

Explain how an overrun brake, a breakaway cable and a safety connection must be arranged on a trailer in this weight class, and describe the correct coupling and uncoupling sequence in order.

Draw a labelled loading plan for a minibus with trailer that keeps the nose weight within limits and puts heavy items low and over the axle.

Perform the full pre-departure coupling check from memory in the correct order and name the consequence of skipping each step.

Describe how a trailer affects acceleration, braking distance, overtaking length and behaviour in crosswind, and adjust a planned overtake accordingly.

Explain the correct responses to trailer swing and snaking, including what to do with throttle and steering and when to stop rather than fight it.

Plan a reversing manoeuvre into a confined space, stating mirror use, observer position and the point at which you stop and start again.

Practise low-speed manoeuvring and hill starts in a large vehicle or with a trailer if available, and record what felt different from driving a car.

Identify the main causes of minibus-trailer accidents and describe two concrete preventive actions for each cause you list.

Explain the correct action sequence at the scene of an accident, including warning other traffic, securing the site and calling emergency services, in the right order.

State the seat-belt and child-restraint requirements for every seat in a D1 minibus and explain who is responsible for each passenger group.

Describe how to supervise passengers during boarding, the journey and evacuation, including headcount procedure and behaviour rules for a group of children.

Explain how load security and unsecured luggage affect injury risk in a sudden stop, and describe how you would check restraint of both passengers and cargo.

Determine when tachograph rules apply to a D1 minibus journey and when an exemption applies, and justify each conclusion against the actual journey purpose and distance.

Calculate a legal daily driving period, break and daily rest schedule for a two-day trip, showing every required break and rest block on a timeline.

Explain how to use a digital tachograph card correctly, including manual entries, mode switches and what to do if the card is lost or faulty.

Describe how to perform a daily walk-around check on the combination, naming what you inspect on tyres, brakes, lights, coupling and fluid levels.

Read a tyre sidewall and state load index, speed rating and minimum tread depth requirements for the minibus and trailer, and explain the risk of mismatched tyres.

Demonstrate the correct first-aid priorities at a road accident scene, including airway, bleeding and shock, and state what a non-medical driver must not do.

Explain how to use a fire extinguisher on a vehicle fire, which fires to attack and when to withdraw and keep people away.

Describe the evacuation procedure for a minibus with trailer, including door and emergency exit use, assembly point and accounting for every passenger.

Apply fuel-efficient driving techniques to a minibus-trailer combination and explain how smooth acceleration, early gear changes and anticipation reduce consumption with a heavy load.

Explain how route choice, engine idling and driving style affect noise and emissions, and name the situations where idling must be avoided.

Re-test the weakest traffic-rule areas from weeks 1 and 2 and raise the score on a 40-question mixed set to at least 90 per cent.

Work through ten hazard-perception scenarios and state the hazard, the planned response and the reason, in under 30 seconds each.

Re-derive driver hours and tachograph conclusions for three tricky cases, including a journey that starts as private use and becomes hire or reward.

Explain how weather, darkness and road surface change stopping distance and what you would change about speed and following distance in each case.

Summarise the accident-prevention rules you would apply when carrying a full passenger load with a loaded trailer.

Rehearse the full coupling, loading and departure procedure end to end within 15 minutes, narrating each step aloud.

Answer 20 rapid-fire questions on weights, dimensions, tyres, brakes and lights with no reference material, and correct any gaps immediately.

Explain the seat-belt and child-restraint rules for every seat position from memory and handle three tricky passenger-scenario questions.

Review all error logs from weeks 1 to 7 and confirm that every logged mistake can now be explained correctly.

Complete two full mock tests under exam timing and record the score, the time taken and the two weakest domains for final revision.
