Kørselsstarten

Kørselsstarten is a Danish term that translates roughly to “the start of driving” and is used primarily in contexts involving driving, travel, and road transport. The word combines kørsel (driving, travel) with starten (the start) in the definite form.

The exact meaning of the term is not fixed in Danish law, and its usage is regional and contextual. In everyday language it may refer to the moment a vehicle begins to move after a stop, i.e., the start of a driving maneuver or journey. In logistics and transport planning, kørselsstarten can denote the official start of vehicle operations for a route, service, or timetable—such as the first run after a holiday period or the rollout of a new schedule.

In driver education, some programs or instructors may use the term to describe the initial, supervised driving phase before a learner proceeds to independent driving. Because this usage is not standardized, other terms such as førerprøve (driving test) or den første kørselsperiode may be preferred depending on the institution and region.

Variations: spelling variants are uncommon; some may use the shorter form kørselsstart to refer to the same concept. The term is largely functional and descriptive rather than a fixed technical term within Danish traffic law.
