B1 driver's license cannot be obtained directly. To apply for a B1 driver's license, you must have held an A3, B2, or C driver's license for more than three years, and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before application. However, a B2 driver's license can be obtained directly. Below are the detailed requirements: 1. The "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 on the Decision to Amend the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses'" has been approved by the Ministry of Public Security executive meeting and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. 2. Article 14: For the first-time application for a motor vehicle driver's license, the permitted vehicle types include urban buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. 2. Article 15: For those who already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and wish to apply for additional permitted vehicle types, they must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application. To apply for additional permitted vehicle types such as medium-sized buses, tow trucks, or large buses, the following conditions must also be met: (1) To apply for a medium-sized bus permit, the applicant must have held a driver's license for urban buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles for more than three years, and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before application.
