Denmark: your checklist before you go
Tick what you already have. Set your departure date, and anything that takes time, such as a sticker by post or an online order, shows the date to act by.

Carry the Required Kit
- Warning triangle: Required. Your Europe lists one; the Danish motoring club FDM says the law asks you to set one out after a breakdown rather than to carry it.
Required: an official source lists it. Wear it: anyone who gets out on the road must wear one. Required*: only non-official sources list it. Every country side by side: required kit by country.
