Some advices for driving in Denmark:

All the times while driving, carry their driver licenses, vehicle registration document, and certificate of motor insurance. Have a fire extinguisher and first-aid kit in your car. Be careful when you are turning right across a cycle lane; generally, bicycles have priority. On Danish roads, very often speed limits are not on the signs; if you see a sign with a cityscape, you must drive with a speed not faster than 50 km/h (31mph). Leaving the town/village you can see a cityscape sign with a black diagonal line; it means that you can drive with a usual speed. Don’t use cell phone while driving. Give way to buses. Drive safe and friendly.
