Is the A1 Driver's License Easy to Obtain?
2 Answers
A1 driver's license is relatively easy to obtain. As long as you study hard with the instructor after registration, pay attention to learning and memorizing, you can basically pass the test. The following are the conditions for applying for an A1 driver's license: 1. Basic conditions: You must have held a driving license for A3 city buses, B1 medium-sized buses, or B2 large trucks for more than five years, and have no record of 12 points deducted in the current scoring cycle and the five consecutive scoring cycles before application. You must have held a driving license for A2 tractor-trailers for more than two years, and have no full-point record in the most recent scoring cycle before application. 2. Age conditions: Applicants for large passenger vehicle licenses must be between 26 and 50 years old.
I don't think the A1 driver's license test is particularly easy, as it consists of three parts: theory, field, and road driving. The theory test covers traffic regulations and bus operation knowledge, with many questions requiring memorization and video study. The field test includes tasks like reversing into a parking space and curve driving—large vehicles have slower steering and braking responses, making it easy for beginners to make mistakes. Road driving tests actual control skills, such as handling urban roads and highways. Overall, the difficulty is moderately high, with a pass rate of around 60%. However, if you dedicate time to practice and understand the rules, you can usually pass in two to three months. Finding a good instructor and simulating test scenarios in advance can help reduce nervousness during practice. Don’t rush—take it step by step for higher success rates.
