Additional information

1. Category A1 licences permit the holder to drive motorcycles without a sidecar; A2 licences permit the holder to drive motorcycles with a sidecar.

These categories do not therefore correspond to subcategories A1 and A2 as defined in directive 2006/126/EC.

Holders of a Danish A1 and/or A2 licence are entitled to an unrestricted licence, entitling them to drive vehicles in categories AM, A1, A2, and A in other EU countries.

2. Holders of a Danish B category licence are also authorised to drive motor tricycles.

This model is no longer valid for driving in Denmark, since a mandatory exchange of all licences was imposed from 1991 to 1993. Nevertheless, this licence can be renewed for a new licence issued by Denmark and has to be recognised by other EU countries until 19.01.2033.
