This unit focuses on critical practical driving skills that are frequently tested and essential for everyday driving in Denmark. You will learn systematic techniques for various parking scenarios, safe reversing procedures with thorough observation, and how to execute a smooth hill start. We also cover the fundamentals of trailer coupling and reinforce the importance of passenger safety.
Browse all lessons that make up Parking, Reversing, Trailers, Passengers, and Practical Driving. Each lesson focuses on specific topics, learning objectives, and core concepts, helping you build essential knowledge and follow a clear, structured progression toward your study goals in Denmark.
This lesson breaks down the technique of parallel parking into a simple, repeatable process. It teaches you how to use specific reference points on your vehicle to accurately judge distances and positioning relative to the curb and other cars. These skills are essential for complying with parking regulations and confidently maneuvering in constrained Danish urban environments.
This lesson provides detailed instruction on two key practical skills. You will learn the correct procedure for reversing, which emphasizes slow speed and comprehensive 360-degree observation. It also covers the technique for executing a smooth hill start, teaching the precise coordination of the clutch, accelerator, and handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards.
This lesson covers the safe and correct method for attaching a trailer to your vehicle, including all necessary safety checks. It explains the importance of proper load distribution to maintain trailer stability and prevent dangerous swaying. The content also revisits the critical rules for passenger safety, with a focus on selecting and using the correct child restraint systems according to Danish law.

Parallel parking involves positioning your vehicle parallel to the kerb between two other vehicles. Bay parking involves reversing into or driving into a parking bay, typically found in car parks. Both require precise steering, observation, and control, but the reference points and techniques differ significantly. The Danish theory test assesses your understanding of how to perform both safely and correctly.
The absolute priority when reversing is to ensure you do not endanger or obstruct other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. This means performing a thorough all-round observation, using your mirrors, and checking blind spots before and continuously during the manoeuvre. You must be prepared to stop immediately if necessary. In Denmark, this careful approach is strictly expected.
A smooth hill start involves using a combination of the handbrake (or foot brake), clutch, and accelerator to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. Engage the handbrake, find the biting point of the clutch, then gently apply accelerator while slowly releasing the clutch and handbrake simultaneously. Practice is key to coordinating these actions smoothly, which is often tested in practical driving.
With a standard Category B license in Denmark, you can generally tow a small trailer if its maximum authorised mass (MAM) is no more than 750 kg. If the trailer's MAM exceeds 750 kg, the combined MAM of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 3,500 kg. This unit covers the fundamental principles of coupling and the general responsibilities involved.
Ensuring all passengers are safely secured is a fundamental legal requirement and a crucial aspect of safe driving in Denmark. Unrestrained passengers can be a hazard to themselves and others during sudden stops or collisions. Drivers are legally responsible for ensuring all occupants, especially children, are properly restrained with seat belts or appropriate child seats, as mandated by law.
While the basic theory test covers the rules and general knowledge of trailer towing, the practical driving test for Category B usually focuses on standard driving manoeuvres without a trailer. However, if you are taking a test specifically for a trailer endorsement (like BE category), then coupling and maneuvering the trailer will be a significant part of the assessment.
