Can I directly apply for a B1 driver's license now?

[RuthLee]

Driver's license B2 can be directly applied for, but B1 cannot be directly applied for. To apply for a B1 license, you must have held an A3, B2, or C license for more than three years, and have no record of accumulating 12 points in the most recent three consecutive scoring cycles before application. Below is the relevant introduction: Order No. 139 of the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China, 'Decision of the Ministry of Public Security on Amending the Regulations,' has been adopted at the executive meeting of the Ministry of Public Security and is hereby promulgated, effective from April 1, 2016. Article 14: For the first application for a motor vehicle driver's license, you can apply for a license that permits driving urban buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, or trams.
