What is a Driving Licence – and Who Can Get One?
A driving licence gives you the freedom to drive independently and move around as you please. In Denmark, you can start taking lessons for a Category B (car) licence when you turn 17 years old (you can begin theory lessons at 16 years and 9 months), and you can take the practical driving test when you turn 17.
To obtain a driving licence, you must:
- Be at least 17 years old and have an approved supervisor until you turn 18 (or wait until after your 18th birthday to drive alone).
- Complete a mandatory first aid course (if you have not already).
- Obtain a valid medical certificate.
- Pass both a theory test and a practical driving test.
Choosing the right driving school is crucial to ensure that you receive quality training and the best chance of passing your tests the first time.

Jeg har generhvervet mit kørekort…
Jeg har generhvervet mit kørekort igennem kviktrafikskole, da jeg allerede havde hørt godt om dem. Valgte jeg dem. De skuffede heller ikke, gode informationer, tryghed og en rigtig grundig vejledning. Jeg bestod alt første gang.
6 stjerner herfra. De kan klart anbefales.
Kunde
Skiftede fra et andet sted
Jeg skiftede køreskole og til Masoud, og har virkelig ikke været alt andet end tilfreds. Jeg var delvist demotiveret da jeg skulle starte hos Masood, grundet mine oplevelser hos min tidligere kørelærer, men Masood har virkelig været støttende, været grundig og fået mine færdigheder i top….
Yousef
Kørekort på tre måneder
Jeg fik mit kørekort på tre måneder, bestod teori første gang. Og havde en fantastisk kørelærer, Ali.
Han fokusere 110% på eleven mens man kører og ønsker at man får så meget ud af hver køretime som muligt….
Oliver Wetterstein Gervø
Instruktører i verdensklasse
Jeg var meget glad for at have valgt Kviktrafikskole ifm. min generhvervelse.
Deres kundeservice er i topkvalitet, og de har altid elevens tilfredshed og sikkerhed som højeste prioritet….
Nanna Schwarz Jørgensen
Super godt og smertefrit forløb
Jeg tog mit kørekort hos kviktrafikskole på ca. 4 måneder og der var bare styr på det hele fra start til slut! Køreskolen var altid nem at få fat på hvis man havde spørgsmål, og Masood var en mega fed kørerlærer der under hele forløbet havde fuldstændig styr på hvad jeg skulle fokusere på for at blive klar til køreprøven….
Erling Vindelev Jørgensen
Professionel og effektiv undervisning
Kan kun anbefale Kviktrafikskole, Blegdamsvej 42, 2200 København N.
Personalet sætter kunden/eleven i fokus og er altid parat med gode råd. Undervisningen foregår effektivt og professionelt.
Derudover er de søde og venlige på en frisk måde. En stor tak til Masood Ahmed.
Benjamin Ørding-Thomsen
Dejlig fleksibel køreskole
Rigtig god oplevelse både med Masood og i den sidste del af mit forløb til kategori B, Ali. Teori kunne tages i det tempo man ønskede, kombineret med en fleksibel kørelærer. Kraftig anbefaling herfra 💪
Mille Sofie
Bedste oplevelse med kørekort!
Jeg havde den bedste oplevelse med mit kørekort.

Jeg vil især rose og give udtryk for min tilfredshed…
