Avoid hefty fines

  • Never, ever, ride the metro or train without a validated ticket, unless you can afford the steep fine (700 kr).  Don’t count on talking your way out of it.
  • Mind the return date for library materials. Overdue fines are expensive.
  • If you do not use the correct postage amount, you might receive a fine.
  • Do not drive without a proper driver’s license.  Usually this means a Danish drivers license.  Check with the authorities to see if your license from home is valid here. It probably is not. Never drive under the influence of alcohol.
  • Steep fines for talking on your hand-held mobile while driving.   Supposedly this applies to using a hand-held mobile while biking, as well.
  • Your bike must have a white light in front and a red light in back. Obey all bicycle laws.

Check out the overview of the fines in the Danish traffic.
