The practical driving test — oppkjøring in Norwegian — is the final step towards your category B driving licence. The test itself lasts up to 75 minutes and is conducted in one of Kör's cars together with your instructor and an examiner from Statens vegvesen. It begins with a safety check of the vehicle, followed by driving in real traffic covering a range of situations and road types.
At Kör, every practical driving test includes 45 minutes of warm-up driving before the examiner gets in the car. This gives you time to settle into the car, refresh key techniques and go through any last feedback with your instructor before the test begins.
You book the test date yourself on vegvesen.no. Once you have received your confirmation, forward it to hei@koer.no as soon as possible — and no later than two weeks before the test — so we can reserve a car and instructor for you. Kör offers oppkjøring at all our locations across Norway, and new students who have not previously driven with us are also welcome to book.
Before conducting your practical driving test, make sure you have completed all mandatory courses. The first aid course must be completed before the test. If you are taking your test between 1 November and 15 March, the dark driving demonstration (mørkedemo) must also be completed beforehand. If you take your test outside this period, you have until 31 January the following year to complete it. You can read more about the safety check and book the first aid course on our website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical driving test in Norway - Category B
The test has two parts. It starts with a safety check, where the examiner asks you one to three questions about the vehicle — for example checking tyre pressure, oil level or seat belts. The driving part then follows, lasting up to 75 minutes in real traffic. The examiner will assess your ability to drive safely, observe traffic rules, handle different road environments and make good independent decisions.
The driving test itself lasts up to 75 minutes. At Kör, this is preceded by a 45-minute warm-up session with your instructor, making the total lesson 120 minutes. The warm-up is included in Kör's price for the practical driving test.
There are two costs involved. The government fee paid to Statens vegvesen is 1 150 NOK and is paid when you book your test appointment on vegvesen.no. Kör's fee for the lesson — which includes the 45-minute warm-up — varies by location. Check the rates page for the price at your preferred location.
You book the test date yourself on vegvesen.no through Din side (My Page) using BankID. Once you have your confirmation, forward it to hei@koer.no as soon as possible and no later than two weeks before the test date. This allows us to reserve a car and instructor for you. If you wait too long, we may not be able to accommodate your date.
Yes. Kör welcomes new students for the practical driving test even if you have taken all your lessons elsewhere. However, before we can accompany you to the test, you must complete one full 90-minute driving lesson with us at the standard lesson rate — not the discounted first lesson rate. This allows your instructor to assess your level and ensure you are ready for the test. This lesson is booked separately in the Kör app.
Yes. Kör's practical driving test fee includes 45 minutes of warm-up driving before the examiner joins. This warm-up is conducted with your instructor and is designed to help you settle in and prepare for the test.
If the pick-up point is far from the trafikkstasjon where you are taking your test, additional travel time may be charged. Travel time is billed in 45-minute increments at the same per-45-minute rate as a standard driving lesson — so the hourly rate is the same as for regular lessons. Your instructor will let you know in advance if this applies.
You must bring valid photo identification — a passport or Norwegian ID card. Before the test, you must have completed all mandatory courses: the first aid course, the safety course on track (sikkerhetskurs på øvingsbane) and the safety course on road (sikkerhetskurs på veg).
If you are taking your test during the dark driving season (1 November–15 March), the dark driving demonstration (mørkedemo) must also be completed beforehand. Your theory test result must still be valid — it is valid for three years from the date you passed.

It depends on when you take your test. If your practical driving test falls between 1 November and 15 March, the dark driving demonstration (mørkedemo) must be completed before you can take the test.

You should book additional driving lessons with your instructor before your next attempt and focus on the areas the examiner flagged.

As a rule, we meet directly at the trafikkstasjon before your test. This avoids any issues that might arise in traffic on the way there. If it is more practical for you to be picked up at home or another location, this can be arranged directly with your instructor. Either way, you do not need to worry about getting yourself to the test — just let us know what works best if getting to the traffic station is difficult for you.
