About the CDL Passenger Endorsement Test
The Passenger endorsement (P) is required if you drive a vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers (including the driver). This covers buses, passenger vans, and other commercial passenger vehicles.
The test covers the knowledge needed to safely carry passengers:
- Loading and unloading passengers safely
- Emergency exits and evacuation procedures
- Passenger security and managing disruptive passengers
- Safe bus operation: turning, braking, and stopping
- Effects of passengers on handling and balance
- Pre-trip inspection for passenger vehicles
- Handicapped passenger assistance
We also offer a dedicated School Bus (S) endorsement practice test that covers the additional topics school bus drivers must know, such as danger zones, the eight-light system, and student loading procedures.
Our practice tests mirror the real DMV exam format, with detailed explanations for every question. Practice until you score 90% or higher, and you'll walk into the DMV ready to pass.
Passenger Endorsement Tips
- • Memorize the emergency exit and evacuation procedures.
- • Understand how loaded passengers change vehicle balance.
- • Know when to stand vs. the standee line rules.
- • Keep aisles and exits clear at all times.
