The Denmark truck theory exam at a glance

The Danish theory test (teoriprøve) for a lorry licence, category C, is run by Færdselsstyrelsen, the Danish Road Traffic Authority. You may make at most five errors; an unanswered question counts as an error. On the digital test each question shows a picture or video of a traffic situation and you pick the correct answer or answers. Questions are drawn at random from the teaching plan for categories C and D, weighted by Færdselsstyrelsen's published key: about a third on the lorry itself (brakes, steering, lights, mirrors, tachograph), with driving and rest times, weights, widths and loads, and driving a lorry in traffic. Digital theory tests in English are offered for category C at every digital test site, as well as in Danish. You take it after lessons with an approved driving instructor; a category C licence can normally be issued from 21. Category CE has its own theory test with its own key.

Updated November 2026 by the Tigertest team. Practice questions follow Færdselsstyrelsen's pages on digital theory tests and its published randomisation key for the digital category C test, and the teaching plans for categories C and D and for CE (version 1.0 2026, FS 16.01.2026), checked November 2026. Exam rules change, so confirm current details with Færdselsstyrelsen: Hvor kan jeg tage en teoriprøve?.

How It Works

Train by Topic

Four training sets cover brakes, steering and lights; bodywork, loads and driving times; other vehicles, the driver and the risks; and driving a lorry in traffic. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them.

25-Question Mock Tests

Eight 25-question tests that together cover all 200 questions. You need 20 right: at most five errors, the real pass rule, on the 25 questions guides say the real test has. No question repeats across tests, and every answer explains the rule.

Weighted Like the Digital Teoriprøve

Færdselsstyrelsen draws the questions at random from the teaching plan for lorries and publishes how the digital category C test is weighted: about 32% on the vehicle, 28% on manoeuvres on the road and 16% on the basic rules for lorries. Tigertest's mock tests follow the same split, in km/h, metres and tonnes, for right-hand traffic. The real test shows a picture or video with every question and some have more than one correct answer; here each question is text with one answer, and signs are described in words. The practical test is not part of this practice.

Speed, Lanes, Meeting & Overtaking16%

How to Pass the Danish Truck Theory Test

1. Know your lorry before you drive it

A third of the test is about the vehicle. Learn what each part of the air brake system does and what each fault looks like: a long pump-up time, water in the tanks, a big pressure drop, rear wheels locking. The same goes for lights, tyres, mirrors and the tachograph.

2. Learn the lorry numbers

80 km/h on every road and a limiter at 90, 2.55 m wide, 12 m long, 4.1 m high, 10 tonnes on an axle, 20% of the weight on the steered axles, marking beyond 1 m or 15 cm, and the driving-time limits of 9, 10, 56 and 90 hours with a 45-minute break after 4.5 hours.

3. Turn right as if a cyclist is always there

The plan's most serious lorry crash is the right turn across a cyclist at the right front corner, often after both waited at a red light. Keep watching your mirrors while you wait, do not take green as a free path, and stop before the cycle path if you need more time.

4. Read every answer, then look at the picture

On the real test a question can have more than one correct answer and an unanswered one counts as an error, so read each option on its own against the picture. Aim for 23 or more in every Tigertest mock test before you book.

Danish Truck Theory Test Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Danish truck theory test like?

The theory test (teoriprøve) for category C is run by Færdselsstyrelsen, the Danish Road Traffic Authority. You may make at most five errors; an unanswered question counts as an error. On the digital test each question shows a picture or video of a traffic situation and you choose the correct answer or answers. Questions are drawn at random from the teaching plan for lorries. Færdselsstyrelsen does not state the number of questions for category C on its site; guides give 25, so 20 right is a pass.

Can I take the truck theory test in English?

Yes. Færdselsstyrelsen offers the digital theory test in English for category C, among other categories, and runs digital tests in Danish and English at all of its digital test sites. German digital tests are held only in Aabenraa.

What does the truck theory test cover?

Færdselsstyrelsen's published key for the digital category C test gives about 32% of the questions to the lorry itself (steering, brakes, lights, tyres, engine, bodywork, mirrors, tachograph and documents), about 28% to manoeuvres on the road, about 16% to the basic rules for lorries (licence, dimensions, weights, loads, driving and rest times), about 8% each to how other vehicles handle and to special risks such as alcohol, drugs and speed, and about 4% each to road user behaviour and road conditions. Tigertest's mock tests follow that split.

What about category CE?

Category CE, a lorry with a trailer over 750 kg, has its own theory test with its own key, weighted even more towards the vehicles (about 40%) and the rules (about 20%). The rules on the lorry, loads and driving times are largely the same, and Tigertest includes the CE coupling and length rules from the CE teaching plan, but the mock tests are weighted like the category C test.

Are these the real test questions?

No. Every question is original, written by Tigertest from Færdselsstyrelsen's teaching plans for categories C and D and for CE (version 1.0, 2026), so it tests the same rules without copying any official question. The real test shows a picture or video with each question and can have more than one correct answer; Tigertest uses text questions with one answer and describes signs and situations in words. It is practice, not affiliated with Færdselsstyrelsen, and it does not book or replace your test.

Denmark truck theory sample questions and answers

6 of the 200 practice questions, one from each topic, with the answer explained.

1. A semi-trailer's kingpin load is above the permitted fifth-wheel load. What should you do?
- A.Raise the tyre pressures
- B.Take load off the front end
- C.Move the extra load to the rear end
- D.Lower the landing legs
Answer: B. Reduce the load at the front of the semi-trailer by the excess weight. Moving it to the rear instead risks exceeding the trailer's permitted axle load.
2. On a system without a gauge, how fast must the compressor fill empty tanks until the warning stops?
- A.Within 1 minute
- B.Within 10 minutes
- C.Within 30 seconds
- D.Within 3 minutes
Answer: D. Without a gauge the compressor must fill empty tanks in under 3 minutes until the warning lamp goes out. With a gauge, 65% of the set pressure must be reached in that time.
3. Why are bends where the road slopes towards the outside especially dangerous?
- A.They make steering through hard
- B.They hide oncoming traffic
- C.They collect wet leaves and sand
- D.They are always narrower
Answer: A. Bends where the carriageway leans outwards make steering through the bend difficult even at normal speed, and are very risky for top-heavy vehicles.
4. A van tows a large trailer. How much room may it need to turn?
- A.The same as without it
- B.Never more than one lane
- C.As much as a big lorry
- D.Less than a small car
Answer: C. Cars with a large trailer can need as much space for manoeuvres as large lorries, and the combination may sway.
5. A professional lorry driver holds the driver CPC. How often is periodic training needed?
- A.Every ten years
- B.Every two years
- C.Every five years
- D.Every three years
Answer: C. Professional lorry drivers need the initial CPC qualification and then periodic training every five years, lasting at least five days.
6. You stop at a loading ramp driving forwards. How close should the side of the bed be?
- A.No more than 1 m away
- B.No more than 2 m away
- C.Touching the ramp
- D.At least 3 m away
Answer: A. Driving forwards to a ramp, place the side of the bed no more than one metre from it.
