Can I directly apply for the A3 license?

[EverlyRose]

You can directly apply for the A3 driver's license. The requirements for an A3 license are: be at least 21 years old, you can obtain the license directly, or have held any driver's license for at least one year without any full-score penalty record, and register for training in your registered residence location. However, it is recommended that if time and other conditions permit, you should upgrade to an A1 license instead of an A3. Relevant information: 1. Time: According to Article 27, Clause 3 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Driver's Licenses' and the 'Motor Vehicle Driver Training Outline,' the training duration for A1 and A3 is exactly the same. 2. Permitted vehicle types: The A1 license permits driving A1, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M vehicles; the A3 license permits driving A3, C1, C2, C3, and C4 vehicles. Therefore, it is important to know that an A3 license does not permit driving large passenger vehicles (A1), medium-sized passenger vehicles (B1), or large trucks (B2). 3. License upgrade issue: The only way to upgrade to a large passenger vehicle (A1) or a tractor (A2) license is through B1 and B2 licenses. If you do not have a B license, even if you have an A3 license, you will still need to upgrade through B1 and B2 licenses to obtain an A1 or A2 license in the future. 4. Article 22 of the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law' stipulates: The probationary period is 12 months. During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive buses, passenger vehicles for hire, or vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles on duty, as well as motor vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, and other hazardous items; the driven motor vehicle is not allowed to tow a trailer.
