Can I directly apply for a Class A1 driver's license?

You cannot directly apply for a Class A1 driver's license. A Class A1 driver's license can only be obtained through license upgrade. Below are the conditions for upgrading and disqualifications: Conditions for upgrading: If you have held a Class B1 or Class B2 driver's license for more than 3 years (or a Class A1 driver's license for more than 1 year), and have not accumulated 12 penalty points in any of the last three scoring cycles before application, you can apply to upgrade to a Class A license. Disqualifications for upgrading: You cannot apply to upgrade to a Class A license under the following circumstances: being fully or primarily responsible for a traffic accident resulting in death; driving under the influence of alcohol; driving under the influence of alcohol during the current scoring cycle or any of the last three consecutive scoring cycles before application; driving at speeds exceeding 50% of the speed limit during the current scoring cycle or any of the last three consecutive scoring cycles before application.
