Can A1 and A2 be held simultaneously?
1 Answers
A1 and A2 can be held simultaneously. If you have held an A2 license for at least two years and have no record of full demerit points in the most recent five consecutive scoring cycles before applying, you can apply for an additional A1 license. Requirements for obtaining A1: To apply for an additional large passenger vehicle (A1) license, the applicant must have held a medium-sized passenger vehicle or large truck driving qualification for more than five years, with no record of full demerit points in the most recent three consecutive scoring cycles before applying. Alternatively, the applicant must have held a tractor driving qualification for more than two years, with no record of full demerit points in the most recent scoring cycle before applying. An A1 license permits driving large passenger vehicles, while an A2 license permits driving trailers and small passenger vehicles. The A1 license allows driving buses that can carry more than 20 passengers, and passenger vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters must also use an A1 license. The A2 license permits driving tractors. Holders of a valid A2 license issued by China's public security traffic police vehicle management authorities can drive heavy and medium-sized full trailers, semi-trailers, and train combinations, as well as vehicles permitted by B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses.
