About Practical test

Practical test

The practical test is the last step in process of receiving driving license. Once the theory test has been passed then the practical test must be carried out within period of 12 months.

Practical test procedure:

Documents collection:

• Application of license
• Lesson plan
• Passport or birth certificate
• Previously issued license (this applies for students that are exchanging their license)

Part 1

Technical control of the car:

The police examiner will start practical test by asking student to check car’s technical features.

For example: breaks, steering system, lights, shock absorbers, tiers etc.

Part 2

Driving:

The duration of practical test is usually 30-45 minutes, where the police examiner evaluates and determines student’s driving knowledge, skills and behavior in traffic. During the test, the police examiner is not restricted to ask the student to perform any aspect of driving: right or left turning, lane change, driving in roundabout, driving on the highway, u-turn, 3-point turn, parking etc.

The police examiner will also evaluate student’s response to traffic signs, speed limits, orientation, placement on the road, duties etc.

Immediately after test completion the police examiner informs student if test is passed or failed.

If the test is passed, the police examiner issues a temporary driving license. With this license the student is allowed to drive in Denmark as well as in all Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Faroe Islands). In case of driving abroad it is required that person poses International Driving License which is issued in Citizen Service (Borgerservice). Temporary license normally applies only until student receives the correct license (sent by mail within two weeks after passing of practical test).
