1. The Danish category A1 is a motorcycle without side-car and A2 is motorcycle with side-car. Those categories are therefore not corresponding to the subcategories A1 and A2 as defined in Directive 2006/126/EC. Entitlement to drive with the Danish category A1 is restricted to motorcycles without a side-car, and A2 is restricted to motorcycles with sidecar. Holders of the Danish category A1 and/or A2 are entitled to obtain full AM, A1, A2, and A in other Member States.

This model is no longer valid for driving in Denmark, since a mandatory exchange of all licences was imposed in the years 1991 to 1993. Nevertheless, the licence can be renewed to a new driving licence issued by Denmark and has to be recognised by other Member States until 19.01.2033.
