Driver responsibilities, documentation and transport regulations
What this domain tests
This section checks your legal responsibility as a D1 driver: licence and competence, documents, alcohol and drug rules, accident duties and transport regulations.
Core rules
- Hold the correct driving licence for D1 and, for professional passenger transport, the required vocational qualification (code 95) and valid health certificate.
- Carry your driving licence, driver card, tachograph printouts and relevant transport documents. Produce them on request.
- Norway's blood-alcohol limit is 0.2 per mille. Do not drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines that impair you.
- In an accident, stop, secure the scene, help the injured and call emergency services. Give your details and report to the police when required.
- Do not use a handheld phone while driving. Hands-free equipment must not distract you.
- Follow passenger-transport rules: no overloading, no unsecured luggage and no passengers in unsafe areas.
Worked example
At a roadside check you are asked for your driver card and tachograph printouts. You have the card but no printout for the previous day. That is a documentation problem: records must be available, and manual entries should have been made. You explain and produce what you can, but the missing record may lead to a fine. Reason: the obligation is to keep records available, not just to hold the card.
Traps that cost marks
Driving with an expired health certificate; borrowing another driver's card; assuming a D1 licence alone is enough for paid passenger transport; and failing to report an accident because damage seemed minor.
