1Under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, what is the standard maximum daily driving time permitted for a commercial lorry driver?
A.9 hours, which may be extended to at most 10 hours not more than twice in a fixed week
B.8 hours, which may be extended to 9 hours once in a calendar week
C.10 hours every day, provided the weekly driving time does not exceed 56 hours
D.4.5 hours per shift without exceptions
Explanation: Under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, the standard daily driving time shall not exceed 9 hours. A driver is permitted to extend daily driving to a maximum of 10 hours not more than twice during the fixed week (Monday 00:00 to Sunday 24:00).
2What is the maximum accumulated driving time permitted for a goods vehicle driver in a single fixed week under EU transport legislation?
A.48 hours
B.56 hours
C.60 hours
D.70 hours
Explanation: Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 establishes that the total weekly driving time shall not exceed 56 hours. A fixed week is defined as the period between Monday 00:00 and Sunday 24:00.
3What is the maximum total driving time permitted across any two consecutive weeks under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006?
A.80 hours
B.84 hours
C.90 hours
D.112 hours
Explanation: Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 states that the accumulated driving time over any two consecutive weeks shall not exceed 90 hours. For example, if a driver reaches the 56-hour maximum in Week 1, they may drive at most 34 hours in Week 2.
4After driving for a continuous period of 4.5 hours, what is the mandatory minimum break requirement for a lorry driver?
A.At least 30 minutes of uninterrupted break
B.At least 60 minutes of uninterrupted break
C.A break of 15 minutes followed immediately by another 15 minutes
D.At least 45 minutes of uninterrupted break, unless taking a qualifying split break
Explanation: Under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, after a driving period of 4.5 hours, a driver shall take an uninterrupted break of not less than 45 minutes, unless they take a qualifying split break during or immediately following the driving period.
5If a commercial lorry driver chooses to split their mandatory 45-minute driving break during a 4.5-hour driving period, how must the split be structured?
A.Any two breaks of at least 20 and 25 minutes in any order
B.A first break of at least 15 minutes followed later by a second break of at least 30 minutes
C.A first break of at least 30 minutes followed later by a second break of at least 15 minutes
D.Three equal breaks of at least 15 minutes distributed across the driving period
Explanation: Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 specifies that the 45-minute break may be replaced by a break of at least 15 minutes followed by a break of at least 30 minutes distributed over the driving period, strictly in that order. Reversing the order (30 min then 15 min) does not reset the 4.5-hour driving clock.
6What is the standard duration and structure of a regular daily rest period for a solo lorry driver under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006?
A.At least 11 uninterrupted hours, or split into two periods of at least 3 hours followed by at least 9 hours within the 24-hour cycle
B.Exactly 10 hours taken continuously within each 24-hour period
C.At least 12 hours uninterrupted, which can be reduced to 10 hours twice per week
D.At least 9 hours, provided an additional 2 hours of rest are taken during the preceding shift
Explanation: Under Article 4(g) and Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, a regular daily rest period is an uninterrupted period of at least 11 hours. Alternatively, it may be taken in two separate periods within the 24-hour cycle: the first must be an uninterrupted period of at least 3 hours, and the second must be an uninterrupted period of at least 9 hours (totaling 12 hours).
7How often may a commercial driver take a reduced daily rest period between any two weekly rest periods, and what is its minimum duration?
A.At most twice, with a minimum duration of 8 hours
B.At most four times, with a minimum duration of 9 hours
C.At most three times, with a minimum duration of 9 hours but less than 11 hours
D.Once per week, with a minimum duration of 7.5 hours
Explanation: Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 provides that a driver may have at most three reduced daily rest periods between any two weekly rest periods. A reduced daily rest period is defined as an uninterrupted rest of at least 9 hours but less than 11 hours.
8In a multi-manning (dobbeltmandskab) operation with two drivers, what are the daily rest requirements under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006?
A.Each driver must take at least 11 hours of rest within a 24-hour period
B.Both drivers must stop and rest together for 8 hours in every 36-hour period
C.Each driver can count time spent in the passenger seat as their mandatory daily rest while the vehicle is in motion
D.Within 30 hours of the end of a daily or weekly rest period, each driver must have taken a new daily rest period of at least 9 consecutive hours
Explanation: Under Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, in multi-manning operations, within 30 hours of the end of a daily or weekly rest period, each driver must have taken a new daily rest period of at least 9 consecutive hours. The vehicle must be stationary while taking this 9-hour daily rest (unless using a moving train/ferry under specific conditions).
9What is the legal condition regarding the presence of the second driver for a journey to qualify as multi-manning under EU regulations?
A.The second driver must be present on board for the entire journey, except that their presence is optional for the first hour only
B.The second driver only needs to be on board during the second half of the daily driving period
C.The second driver can join the vehicle at any point within the first 4.5 hours of driving
D.Both drivers must be in the vehicle from the exact second the ignition is switched on
Explanation: Article 4(o) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 defines multi-manning: during each period of driving between any two consecutive daily rest periods, or between a daily rest period and a weekly rest period, there are at least two drivers in the vehicle to do the driving. For the first hour of multi-manning, the presence of another driver is optional, but for the remainder of the period it is compulsory.
10What are the rules regarding taking a regular weekly rest period (at least 45 hours) in the vehicle cab under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006?
A.It is fully permitted if the lorry has a certified sleeper bunk and parking heater
B.It is permitted only during international journeys outside Denmark
C.Regular weekly rest of 45 hours or more is strictly prohibited in the vehicle cab and must be taken in suitable accommodation paid by the employer
D.It is permitted if the driver signs a written waiver agreeing to stay in the cab
Explanation: Under Article 8(8) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 (clarified and reinforced by Mobility Package 1), regular weekly rest periods of 45 hours or more and any weekly rest of more than 45 hours taken in compensation for previous reduced rest periods shall NOT be taken in a vehicle. They must be taken in suitable gender-friendly accommodation with adequate sleeping and sanitary facilities, with all accommodation costs covered by the employer.

Danish Goods Driver CPC Qualification Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 rules: memorize standard daily (9h/10h), weekly (56h), and fortnightly (90h) limits, the strict 15+30 minute break sequence, and the 56-day tachograph inspection record rule.
2Understand load securing mechanics under EN 12195-1: know the 0.8g forward and 0.5g lateral/rearward standards, use documented friction values for the actual materials and conditions, and understand how strap angle affects clamping force.
3Review vehicle pneumatic brake architecture: study circuit isolation, the vehicle-specific low-pressure warning, spring parking brakes, and how to operate hydrodynamic or engine retarders to prevent brake fade on long descents.
4Familiarize yourself with transport documentation and freight regulations: learn CMR consignment note functions, carrier liability limits (8.33 SDR/kg), and the 3 operations in 7 days cabotage rule with its 4-day cooling-off requirement.
5Practice worked calculations: calculate available vehicle payloads (total weight minus unladen weight), axle load distributions, and the number of required lashings using STF ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Danish Code 95 kvalifikationsuddannelse for goods drivers?

It is the statutory initial qualification required under EU Directive 2003/59/EC (codified as Directive (EU) 2022/2561) and Danish Bekendtgørelse nr. 412 af 25/04/2025 for driving Category C, C1, C+E, or C1+E heavy goods vehicles commercially. Passing the assessment yields the EU Driver Qualification Card (chaufføruddannelsesbevis) with Code 95.

What is the official format of the written qualification examination?

Current from 1 October 2025, the standardized electronic written assessment lasts at least 4 hours. It consists of two parts scored out of 50 points each: Part 1 has at least 50 four-option single-answer questions, and Part 2 contains at least six cases with at least five questions each that may have one or more correct answers.

What are the passing score thresholds for the written qualification test?

Candidates must achieve at least 50% in each written part (at least 25 of 50 points in Part 1 and at least 25 of 50 points in Part 2) and at least 85% overall (at least 85 of the combined 100 points).

What practical testing is required alongside the written examination?

Candidates must pass a 90-minute practical driving test and a separate 30-minute practical task, which for goods drivers includes assessment of load-securing techniques (lastsikring) and vehicle safety checks.

Within what time frame must all examination components be completed?

All components of the qualification examination—the written test, the practical driving test, and the practical task—must be successfully completed within a 24-month period from passing the first component.

How does the Goods CPC differ from a Category C driving licence?

A Category C driving licence verifies fundamental vehicle handling and road traffic rule compliance. The Code 95 qualification (grundlæggende kvalifikation) is an advanced professional certification covering European transport regulations, cargo securing calculations (EN 12195-1), digital tachographs, logistics documentation, and commercial road safety.

What are the standard driving time limits under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006?

Daily driving is limited to 9 hours, extendable to 10 hours twice per week. Weekly driving is capped at 56 hours, and accumulated driving across two consecutive weeks cannot exceed 90 hours. A continuous 45-minute break (or 15 minutes followed by 30 minutes) is mandatory after 4.5 hours of driving.

What is the cabin rest prohibition for regular weekly rests?

Under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 as amended by Mobility Package 1, regular weekly rest periods of 45 hours or more must not be spent in the vehicle cab. Employers must provide suitable, gender-friendly accommodation with adequate sleeping and sanitary facilities at the employer's expense.

What are the basic cargo securing standards under EN 12195-1?

Cargo securing equipment must withstand forward inertia forces equal to 80% (0.8g) of the cargo weight, and rearward and sideways forces equal to 50% (0.5g) of the cargo weight. Frictional locking (top-over lashing) relies on normal force and friction, whereas direct lashing relies on strap lashing capacity (LC).

What are the current EU cabotage rules for international freight hauliers?

Following a laden international journey, a haulier may perform up to 3 cabotage operations in the destination Member State within 7 days. Mobility Package 1 also enforces a mandatory 4-day cooling-off period before the same vehicle can perform cabotage in the same country again.

How long is the Danish Code 95 qualification card valid, and how is it renewed?

The qualification card (chaufføruddannelsesbevis) is valid for 5 years. Renewal requires completing 35 hours of approved periodic continuing training (efteruddannelse) every 5 years; no additional written examination is required for renewal.

Is this 100-question practice bank an official Færdselsstyrelsen test?

No. This English-language 100-question single-answer bank is an independent study adaptation. Færdselsstyrelsen's current public guidance does not publish a fixed list of assessment languages and allows a certified interpreter when justified. This bank is not an official translation or case-format simulation, and it does not substitute for the required practical assessments.
