Can an A3 driver's license be directly upgraded to A1?
1 Answers
No, you cannot directly upgrade to A1. An A3 license holder must first upgrade to B1 before being eligible for an A1 upgrade. Below are the requirements for license upgrades: 1. To apply for an upgrade to a medium-sized bus driving permit (B1), the original driving license must be C1, C2, C3, or C4 with a driving experience of at least three years, and no record of accumulating 12 penalty points within the past two years. 2. To apply for an upgrade to a tractor driving permit (A2), the original driving license must be B1 or B2 with a driving experience of at least three years, and no record of accumulating 12 penalty points within the past two years. 3. To apply for an upgrade to a large bus driving permit (A1), the original driving license must be B1 or B2 with a driving experience of at least five years, and no record of accumulating 12 penalty points within the past three years. 4. Applicants who have caused fatalities in traffic accidents and bear full or primary responsibility are not eligible to apply for upgrades to B1, A1, or A2 driving permits.
