How many years does it take to obtain an A1A2D driver's license at the fastest?

To obtain an "A1A2D" driver's license, the age range is between 26 and 50 years old. The fastest time to obtain this license is 9 years. 1. Process: At the age of 18, you must first obtain a D license, upgrade to a B2 license at 21, upgrade to an A2 license after turning 24, and upgrade to an A1 license after turning 26. From 18 to 26 is 8 years, and accounting for overlapping exam times, it will take at least 9 years. 2. A1A2D License: Start by taking the A1 (which allows driving large buses, A3, B1, B2) license test. Then upgrade to the A2 (which allows driving tractor-trailers) license test. After passing, the permitted vehicle types on the license will change to "A1A2". If you then upgrade to the three-wheeled motor vehicle B license, after passing the test, the permitted vehicle types on the license will be marked as "A1A2D".
I'm curious about how quickly one can obtain A1, A2, and D driver's licenses. I heard the D license is the easiest—just sign up for a motorcycle test at 18, and you can get it in a week or two. But the A-class licenses are different: the A2 tractor license requires being at least 22 years old and having a B2 heavy truck license with two years of experience; the A1 large bus license is even stricter, requiring at least 25 years of age and three years of experience with either an A2 or B2 license. Starting from scratch, at 18, you'd first get a small car C1 license, wait until 20 to get the B2, then wait another two years until 22 for the A2, and finally, at 25, you can apply for the A1. The whole process takes five to six years just to meet the eligibility requirements—the actual exams and training can be completed in a few months. So, the shortest time frame is six to seven years. It's best to plan early to avoid wasting time.
I personally experienced upgrading my driver's license, and obtaining A1, A2, and D licenses quickly isn't easy. The D license can be obtained the fastest independently, usually completed within a few days after registration. However, the A licenses take more time: for example, after holding a B2 license for two years, I took the A2 test, which only took a few weeks; to get A1, you need to hold A2 for at least three years plus meet the age requirement. Starting from the beginning, assuming you get a C1 license at 18, quickly upgrade to B2, and then wait step by step, it takes at least four to five years of accumulation to obtain full A1 and A2 licenses. Adding the D license, the speed depends on individual progress, but legal restrictions prevent any acceleration.
