Attitudes, risk awareness and personal responsibility
Risk-awareness questions test judgement rather than knowledge: how you ride when nobody is watching, and what you accept from other people.
The legal frame
Vegtrafikkloven § 3 requires care and attention and that you can stop in time for what is ahead. The blood alcohol limit is 0.2 ‰ - the same as for cars - and applies just as much to a 125. Riding under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine, or after a night without sleep, risks your licence, fines, prison and other people's lives. Repeated offences bring point penalties (prikkbelastning) and loss of the right to ride.
The risk profile of a young A1 rider
Young riders are heavily over-represented in single-vehicle crashes: too much speed for the conditions, a bend taken too fast, gravel mid-corner, and inexperience with hard braking. The bike feels light and forgiving right up to the moment grip runs out, and there is no metal cage around you.
Group riding and pressure
Ride your own ride. If you cannot hold the pace of the riders ahead without taking risks, drop back - a competent group waits at the next junction. Side-by-side riding, racing and showing off are both dangerous and illegal, and a passenger multiplies your responsibility.
Worked example
Two friends on 125s urge you to overtake a lorry on a blind crest at dusk, insisting it is clear. You cannot see the distance you need to stop in, oncoming traffic could be there, and § 3 says you must be able to stop within the visible road. The correct answer is to stay behind; if your friends go, meet them later.
Traps
Believing right of way protects you - physics does not care who was right; treating everyone else does it as a rule; overestimating your skill after passing the test; riding to impress a passenger; ignoring fatigue and phone distraction.
