Denmark Category TM Tractor Theory Test study guide
Denmark Category TM Tractor Theory Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Danish category TM tractor theory test is the written part of the driving licence required to drive a tractor on public roads in Denmark, including with attached trailers and implements within the TM rules. It is aimed at people who will drive agricultural or similar machinery on roads - farm workers, contractors, and young drivers entering agriculture - and it tests whether you understand the rules well enough to handle a slow, heavy, wide vehicle safely among ordinary traffic. The Denmark Category TM Tractor Theory Test study guide has 8 sections and about 3,558 words.
01Road traffic law and obligations of the tractor driver
This section checks that you treat a tractor as a motor vehicle under Danish traffic law, not as farm equipment exempt from ordinary rules. The exam asks about licence category, documents, lights, passengers, use on different road types and the driver's general duties.
414 words, about 2 min02Traffic signs, signals and road markings
This domain tests whether you can read Danish sign families, supplementary plates, traffic signals and road markings quickly enough to act correctly in a tractor-trailer. The exam concentrates on signs that change priority, prohibit certain vehicles, set weight or dimension limits, and mark cycle and pedestrian facilities.
481 words, about 2 min03Right-of-way, junctions and roundabouts
This domain tests priority at unmarked junctions, signed junctions, T-junctions, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings. Because you are driving a long combination, the exam also checks whether you choose a gap that lets the whole tractor and trailer clear the junction without blocking others.
416 words, about 2 min04Speed, safe distance and positioning on the road
This domain tests speed limits, the tractor's own maximum, following distance, stopping distance and lane position. The exam expects you to distinguish the posted limit from a safe speed and to allow for the extra mass and length of a trailer.
479 words, about 2 min05Tractor and trailer vehicle technology, brakes and coupling
This domain tests the tractor-trailer as a technical unit: service brake, parking brake, trailer braking system, coupling, safety connections, lights and daily checks. The exam wants you to know what must be connected and tested before the combination moves.
442 words, about 2 min06Loads, weights, dimensions and securing
This domain tests whether you can load a tractor-trailer legally and safely: maximum dimensions, registered weights, axle loads, payload and load securing. The exam often uses a simple weight calculation and a load that could obscure lights or fall off.
427 words, about 2 min07Hazard perception, vulnerable road users and defensive driving
This domain tests whether you scan ahead, use mirrors and anticipate the mistakes of others while driving a large, slow combination. The exam focuses on cyclists, pedestrians, children, elderly people, horse riders, farm entrances and the blind spots and swept path of a tractor-trailer.
445 words, about 2 min08Alcohol, drugs, fatigue, first aid and incident handling
This domain tests the legal limits for alcohol and drugs, the risks of fatigue, and what you must do at an incident. The exam expects a clear sequence: secure the scene, call for help, give first aid and exchange information without moving injured people unnecessarily.
