Can I take the A3 driving test directly?
2 Answers
A3 driving license can be obtained directly during the initial application. Of course, certain conditions must be met to apply for an A3 driving license, such as being at least 21 years old, having a height of at least 155cm, and having a naked or corrected vision of at least 5.0. Additional information: To obtain an A3 driving license, you must be at least 21 years old or have held any other driving license for at least one year without any full-score violation records, and you must register for training in your registered residence. The training mainly covers driving techniques for A3, C1, C2, C3, C4, and other permitted vehicle types, as well as methods to handle various road conditions. Additionally, a night driving test is required.
As an enthusiast who has been diligently researching driver's license categories, I've been closely following this topic. The A3 license is specifically designed for operating city buses, and to my knowledge, it cannot be directly obtained in most regions. You must first enroll in a formal driving school to complete the required training course, which stipulates that applicants must be at least 21 years old, pass a physical examination, and meet vision standards. The entire training cycle takes about two to three months, covering traffic regulations in theory classes and practical driving exercises to master the special skills needed for buses, such as precise parking and handling passenger flow. The examination consists of several parts, requiring a demonstration of comprehensive abilities to pass. If you attempt to skip the training and apply directly for the test, the administrative authorities will not accept your application because the A3 license carries significant responsibility, involving passenger safety, and thus requires ensuring the driver's skills are solid. I recommend consulting with a driving school in advance to avoid detours and wasting time.
