Driving school 1 and 2 (Ökuskóli 1 and 2) are an integral part of the process to get a drivers license.
What is taught in Driving School 1?
Driving School 1 is split into 6 rounds. Each round covers a different subject:
- The process of learning to drive
- Cars and Equipment
- Traffic as a whole
- Traffic laws
- Behaviour in traffic
- Traffic signs
At the end of each round is a 10 question quiz and at the end of the 6 rounds there is a final test that covers the entire course material.
After each round you need to wait for about a day (21 hours) until the next one opens. This means the course takes at least six days. This is done to follow the rules set by the Ministry of Transport
So you do as well as you can in the driving school you should ideally have the book Út Í Umferðina at hand. You can buy the book in Icelandic on the Driving Instructors Association store.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Driving School 1 suit those with dyslexia?
Yes, you can use a dyslexia font called OpenDyslexic by going into settings.
I need a driving instructor in the greater Reykjavík area. Do you offer driving lessons there?
Yes, we do! Have a look at this page for more information.
How much does learning to drive cost in total?
Luckily we've gone into some depth on the subject in an article that you can read here. If you want to save some money (and who doesn't?) then you can also read this article that tells you how your union can help you potentially lower the cost of learning to drive.
How do I start Driving School 1?
First you sign up and then you can pay with either a payment card or bank transfer.
Do you offer motorcycle or 'meirapróf' courses?
Unfortunately not. We focus especially on Driving School 1 and 2. There are other great schools out there that can teach you to drive a motorcycle and more.
I've completed Driving School 1 but it doesn't show in my electronic driving book. Can you fix it?
Yes, that's no problem. Just call us or send us an email at hallo@urdarbrunnur.is and we'll sort it out.
Is it possible to take the courses in English?
Yes! We thought you'd never ask. In fact we put a lot of effort into translating the writing and UI properly into English. As you may have noticed we also translated our articles and the entire website.
I need a learners magnet (also known as the 'æfingaakstur' magnet) to put at the back of my car. Where can I get one?
All our students get driver's magnets. We're even happy to send you another one if you lose it or if it flies off the car, as they have an unfortunate tendency to do. Just send us an email at hallo@urdarbrunnur.is with your name and address and we'll send it to you via post!
