How many years of B2 driver's license are required to upgrade to A1?

[CassandraRose]

B2 driver's license holders with more than 5 years of experience, who have not accumulated 12 penalty points in any of the last five scoring cycles prior to application, can apply to upgrade to A1. Starting from November 20, 2020, the application age range has been adjusted to 22-60 years old, and the minimum requirement for holding a large truck driver's license has been reduced from at least 5 years to 3 years. However, if during the period of holding a B1 license, the applicant has had instances such as drunk driving, failure to undergo annual inspection for three consecutive cycles, or accidents resulting in casualties, they will be ineligible to apply for an A1 license. Generally speaking, upgrading from B2 to A1 involves obtaining a passenger vehicle driver's license, which includes large passenger vehicles A1, B1, and A3. Specifically, A1 refers to large passenger vehicles that are over 6 meters in length or have a certified passenger capacity exceeding 20 people.
