Which vehicle is a driver with a Class 1 licence not able to operate?

A driver with a Class 1 licence is specifically authorized to operate a wide range of commercial vehicles, including semi-trucks and trailers, which makes it one of the most comprehensive licenses available for commercial driving. However, it does not cover motorcycles, which are classified separately due to their different operational and safety requirements.

Motorcycles require specific training and certification to ensure riders can handle their unique dynamics, which is why a Class 1 licence does not permit driving a motorcycle. In contrast, the other vehicles mentioned—passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial buses—fall within the scope of what a Class 1 driver can operate, as they are either lighter commercial vehicles or standard passenger vehicles that do not have the same restrictions as motorcycles.
