A1 license holders can primarily drive large buses, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery, but they cannot drive trailers or motorcycles.

I just got my A1 driver's license a few days ago, and now I can finally drive large passenger vehicles. Mainly, I can operate big vehicles like long-distance coaches, tour buses, and city buses, carrying a dozen or even twenty people with no problem. I used to envy those drivers who operated tour groups, and now I have the chance to take my friends out myself. Imagine driving a sightseeing bus through mountainous areas with unobstructed views outside the windows. However, driving large vehicles is quite challenging—you have to be careful when turning due to the long body. Additionally, the A1 license requires you to be at least 21 years old and pass a medical examination. I think it's important not to rush while driving and to check the braking system thoroughly. Taking a group of people on an outing must be really fun, and with proper safety measures in place, it’ll be worry-free.
I've been driving for several years, and my A1 license allows me to operate medium-sized or larger buses. I usually enjoy driving intercity buses or school buses with it—they're spacious and stable. Compared to small cars, large buses can carry more passengers but are harder to maneuver. I remember once taking a team to the seaside, and finding a parking spot was tough. Obtaining this license requires professional training and is only available to those aged 21 or older. I always emphasize the importance of proper vehicle maintenance, like regularly changing tires. Driving a bus offers a great view, but speed must be controlled to prevent rollovers. Safety comes first, so I check the lighting system before every trip.
