Danish Driving Theory AM: Vigepligt and Priority Rules

Vigepligt and Priority Rules lesson overview image

This lesson provides an in-depth explanation of Denmark's priority rules, known as 'vigepligt.' It differentiates between unconditional priority ('ubetinget vigepligt'), often indicated by signs, and the default right-hand priority rule ('højre vigepligt'). Applying these rules correctly is essential for preventing collisions at junctions without traffic signals.
