What vehicles can be driven with an A1 driver's license?
2 Answers
A1 driver's license can drive the following vehicles: large buses, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, and wheeled mechanical vehicles. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a driving license, which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. The motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities after the applicant has learned and mastered the knowledge of traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination, permitting the driving of a certain type of motor vehicle. Those who lack this skill and drive motor vehicles arbitrarily may cause traffic accidents. Generally, people without a license are not allowed to drive on the road.
As a veteran bus driver with twenty years of experience, the A1 license primarily applies to large buses—those exceeding six meters in length or capable of carrying over twenty passengers, such as long-distance coaches, city buses, or corporate shuttles. It also permits driving medium-sized buses and small private cars, but don’t assume it covers everything—motorcycles and tractors require a D license or other specific certifications. My daily route runs from Beijing to Shanghai, and obtaining the A1 license took me over half a year studying traffic regulations and mastering reversing techniques. Safe driving is paramount; before every trip, I meticulously inspect the lighting and braking systems to eliminate any potential hazards—passenger safety always comes first.
