Driving licence in Denmark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denmark does not use the C1 and D1 categories. This means a truck (C) or a bus (D) licence covers all trucks or buses, respectively, that are not covered by the car (B) licence. A B/E licence only allows heavy trailers on cars, even if the driver has a C or D permit.
Tractor/Motorized equipment (T/M) permit can be obtained when the driver is 16 years old, as well as a moped licence. T/M allows driving a moped, but not the other way. Anyone older than 18 can drive a moped, and anyone with B licence can drive tractors and Motorized equipment. Motorized equipment would be things like combine harvesters, steam rollers, loaders, excavators and other vehicles driving maximum 30 km/h.
Driving forklifts requires a special permit.
Carrying hazardous goods requires an ADR permit.
Commercial passenger traffic (route bus, tourist bus, taxi) requires a 5-year licence.
Some severe driving offences will incur a strike on one's license. This is logged in a central police database, and if one exceeds the maximum number of strikes, the license is lost, but can ultimately be reacquired. The maximum number of strikes are two for driver's license holders having held the license less than two years and three for everybody else.
