Driving rules & facts

  1. Drive on the Right

    Denmark drives on the right side of the road. Overtake only on the left. At roundabouts, traffic already in the roundabout has priority unless otherwise signed. Left-hand drive vehicles are standard.

  2. BAC Limit 0.05% (0.5‰)

    The blood alcohol limit is 0.05% (0.5‰). Since July 2025, new drivers (first 3 years) face a stricter 0.02% (0.2‰) limit. DUI fines are calculated as promille × monthly gross salary. BAC above 2.0‰ triggers vanvidskørsel vehicle confiscation.

  3. Klippekort Clip System

    Serious violations earn clips: phone use, red light, tailgating, speeding 30%+ over. 3 clips in 3 years = unconditional licence revocation. New drivers: only 2 clips allowed. Each clip is a serious warning that stays on your record for 3 years.

  4. Cyclist Priority When Turning Right

    Drivers must yield to cyclists when turning right at intersections. Denmark has extensive cycling infrastructure with dedicated cycle lanes. Failure to yield to cyclists is a serious offence. Always check mirrors and blind spots for cyclists before turning.

  5. Vanvidskørsel — Vehicle Confiscation

    Since March 2021, police can confiscate and auction your vehicle for extreme reckless driving: driving 100%+ over the speed limit, exceeding 200 km/h, or BAC above 2.0‰. This applies even if the vehicle belongs to someone else. The law was introduced to deter the most dangerous driving behaviour.

  6. Daytime Running Lights Mandatory

    Dipped headlights or daytime running lights must be used at all times while driving, day and night, year-round. This applies to all vehicles. Failure to use lights carries a fine.

Tips for choosing a driving school in Denmark

  1. Compare prices from at least 3 schools before enrolling. The cheapest option is not always the best — check what is included in the package.
  2. Ask schools about their pass rates. A higher pass rate often indicates better instruction quality.
  3. If Denmark's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
