Sammanfattning

Viktiga Ändringar
EU GSR2 Phase 3: Intelligent Speed Assistance and Distraction Warning
Gäller från 7 juli 2026
Basic ADAS required
Since July 2024, new cars required ISA, AEB, lane-keeping, and drowsiness detection based on driving patterns
Camera-based distraction monitoring
All new cars must have Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) with in-cabin camera detecting phone use, eating, or looking away from the road
Officiell Källa: EU General Safety Regulation 2019/2144
Körlärartips
“GSR2 Phase 3 adds camera-based distraction detection from July 2026. Your car will alert you if you look at your phone or away from the road for too long. ISA, AEB, and lane-keeping were already mandatory from July 2024. Know these systems for your køreprøve.”
Stricter Environmental Zone Particle Filter Requirements
Gäller från 1 juli 2026
Euro 5 diesel exempt
Diesel vehicles meeting Euro 5 standards could enter environmental zones without particle filters
Particle filter required for older diesel
All diesel vehicles registered before 2015 must have an approved particle filter to enter miljøzoner in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, and Aalborg

Körlärartips
“Denmark's four largest cities have stricter miljøzone rules from July 2026. If you drive a pre-2015 diesel, you need an approved particle filter and the green miljøzone sticker. Foreign vehicles are also covered - check before driving into city centers.”
Increased Penalties for Endangering Cyclists
Gäller från 1 januari 2026
Standard fine of DKK 1,500
Failing to yield to cyclists or passing too close carried standard traffic fine
DKK 2,500 fine + conditional suspension
Fines increased for right-turn cyclist collisions; conditional license suspension for serious incidents; mandatory mirror check before turning
Officiell Källa: Færdselsloven
Körlärartips
“Denmark takes cyclist safety very seriously. The "højresvingsulykke" (right-turn accident with cyclists) is a major focus. Always check your right mirror and blind spot before turning right. Fines are now DKK 2,500 and you can lose your license.”
