Can You Get an A1 Driving License Directly?

[FinnDella]

A1 driving license cannot be obtained directly; it must be acquired through an upgrade process. Here are the relevant details: 1. Vehicle Types Allowed: An A1 driving license permits the holder to drive buses with more than 20 seats and passenger vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters. 2. Upgrade Requirements: Applicants for an A1 driving license must be at least 26 years old and must upgrade from a B2, B1, or A2 license; upgrading from a C1 license is not allowed. A B-class license holder must have held the license for at least five years before upgrading to an A1 license, and during the period of holding the B-class license, there must be no record of 12 penalty points in any three consecutive cycles. If the applicant wishes to upgrade from an A2 license to an A1 license, they must have held the A2 license for at least two years, and there must be no record of 12 penalty points in the previous cycle during the period of holding the A2 license.
