No, you cannot drive a semi-trailer with a newly obtained A2 license. You must complete the probationary period before you are allowed to drive a semi-trailer on the road. The first 12 months after obtaining an A2 driver's license are considered the probationary period for the A2 license. According to relevant laws and regulations, an A2 driver's license holder is not permitted to tow a trailer during the probationary period. In other words, you cannot drive a semi-trailer on the road immediately after obtaining an A2 license. Special provisions for driving trailers specify that during the probationary period, the motor vehicle driven must not tow a trailer. Simply put, within one year of obtaining an A2 license (after adding the A2 class), you are not allowed to drive a towing trailer. Although the A2 license corresponds to the permitted vehicle types of tractors and B1, B2, which include semi-trailers, according to the regulations, towing a trailer is prohibited during the probationary period. Therefore, an A2 license holder cannot drive a semi-trailer during the probationary period. Relevant laws and regulations specify the probationary period for driver's licenses in the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses." The probationary period is defined as follows: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially applies for a driver's license or adds a permitted vehicle class is the probationary period. In other words, starting from the initial issuance date recorded on the driver's license, the following 12 months (one year) constitute the probationary period for the driver's license.
