Technical Questions for the Driving Test

There are no predetermined questions that must be asked during the practical driving test in Denmark. Instead, it is the examiner’s responsibility to assess the candidate’s skills and driving abilities, as well as to ask the questions that support this assessment. In general, the examiner will ask questions related to traffic rules, road safety, and the vehicle’s technical equipment. The candidate will also be asked to perform various manoeuvres—such as parking the car or making a U-turn—to demonstrate their ability to drive.
