17-årig med kørekort

Are you the owner of the car and let your 17-year-old drive unaccompanied? Are you aware that your insurance does not cover as much as you might think? If the car is driven by a 17-year-old with a driver's license but without a companion, it is equivalent to lending the car to a person without a driver's license.

It will be very expensive if the insurance does not cover the damages for which the driver is found guilty.

The companion must always be the passenger next to the 17-year-old driver and the companion must meet the following requirements:

be over 30 years old
have had a B driving license in the last 10 years issued in Denmark
your driving license must not have been revoked conditionally or unconditionally in the past 10 years
must always carry your driving license when driving
your driving license must be valid
be able to legally take over driving
give advice and guidance the 17-year-old while driving
you must sit in the front passenger seat
you must accompany any 17-year-old with a driving license It is the 17-year-old who is responsible and must be able to prove that you, as a companion, are informed about the requirements you as a companion.

There is a companion form that you can fill out together before driving. The document can be saved and used in the future, but there must of course be a completed document for each companion and 17-year-old driver. The companion form can be found on the Swedish Road Administration's website: https://www.klxml.dk/KLB/Blanket/Gaelder/kk051.pdf Remember that the driver's license is only valid in Denmark until the driver is 18 years old.
