An A3 driver's license can be upgraded to an A1 license, provided that the driver already holds an A3, B1, or B2 license and meets certain conditions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" and the new "Streamlining, Delegating, and Improving Services" reform policies, applicants seeking to upgrade to a large passenger vehicle license must meet one of the following conditions: Have held a city bus or medium-sized passenger vehicle license for at least two years; Have held a large truck license for at least three years; Have held a tractor-trailer license for at least one year. In addition to meeting one of the above conditions, applicants must not have accumulated 12 or more penalty points in any of the last three scoring cycles before applying. What are the circumstances under which an A1 upgrade is not allowed?
