Remember the Taillights

Most modern cars today are equipped with automatic daytime running lights. This means the front lights switch on automatically — but in many cases, the rear lights do not. This is especially true for micro and mini cars, where you often have to manually turn on the taillights.

Larger vehicles often have a light sensor that activates the dipped headlights (and taillights) when it gets dark. However, these sensors don’t always detect fog or overcast weather, meaning your taillights may remain off — making your car nearly invisible from behind.

Since July 2016, all new cars are required to automatically turn on dipped headlights (including taillights) in low visibility conditions.

Does your car turn on the taillights automatically in fog, rain, or darkness?
If not — and you tend to forget switching them on manually — consider having the car re-coded.

FDM recommends configuring your vehicle so that the taillights switch on together with the daytime running lights. In many vehicles, this can be done easily through a software update or re-coding.

If you're buying a new car, FDM advises you to have it written into the purchase agreement that the car is delivered with this adjustment made.

Keep a Safe Distance

Most accidents happen because of insufficient distance to the vehicle in front.

As a rule of thumb, always keep a minimum two-second gap — or half your speed in meters:

At 40 km/h → Keep at least 20 meters
At 120 km/h (motorway) → Keep at least 60 meters

How the Minus Green Light Works:

1. Drive into the intersection when you have a green light.
2. Look at the minus green light pole located on the opposite side
of the crossroad, to the left of the intersection.
3. Wait to turn left until you see a red light on the minus green
light, especially if there may be oncoming traffic hidden
behind other vehicles.

Need to convert or recover your driver's license in Denmark?
We can help you!

If you're not from the EU or EEA, you must convert your driver's license within 180 days of receiving permanent residence in Denmark.

Call us if you need more information: +45 2175 1446

What you need to do:
Go to your local Borgerservice – in Aarhus, that's at DOKK1.

Bring the following documents:

A medical certificate issued by your own doctor
(Note: Only required if your license is not issued in the Faroe Islands, Greenland, or an EU/EEA country)
You also need a medical certificate if your foreign license is about to expire. The Danish license will have the same expiry date – up to a maximum of 15 years.

Your foreign driver's license
A valid passport
A valid residence permit or residence certificate
(Only if you are not a Danish or Nordic citizen or don't have the right to stay in Denmark without a permit)

Most accidents happen because drivers don’t keep enough distance to the vehicle in front.
You must keep a minimum of 2 seconds of distance – or half your speed in meters.

For example:
At 40 km/h, keep at least 20 meters
At 120 km/h on the motorway, keep at least 60 meters
Failing to follow this rule isn’t just dangerous – it can be expensive too.

If you don’t keep a safe distance, you risk:

A fine of 2,000 DKK
A penalty point (clip)
And even a driving ban

The rules for using fog lights are as follows:
Fog lights may only be used in conditions of fog, heavy rain, snow, or poor visibility.
They must not be used just because it is dark.

Additionally, fog lights may be used instead of automatic daytime running lights, but this requires reprogramming the car's computer.

There are no specific distance regulations for the use of fog lights.

It is not legal to ride in a pedestrian crossing.
Therefore, it is a shame that the municipality has made a common transition for both bicycles and pedestrians.
Then it becomes impossible to follow the law

It´s the crossing Vejlby Centervej/Skejbyvej
