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

I've been researching automobiles for many years, and I can say that the scope of vehicles an A1 driver's license can operate is quite extensive. It allows driving large passenger vehicles, such as buses or tour coaches exceeding 6 meters in length or accommodating more than 20 passengers. Additionally, it permits operating urban buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, and small cars. These regulations are stipulated by traffic laws because obtaining an A1 license is challenging, ensuring drivers possess sufficient skills to control large vehicles. I've seen many people eager to drive all types of vehicles after obtaining an A1 license, but I recommend starting with simpler vehicles to practice turning and parking, especially being extra cautious about blind spots when driving large buses at night. Different vehicles come with different considerations; for example, when driving trucks, it's essential to check cargo securing, and when driving buses, passenger safety during boarding and alighting must be prioritized.
