Sample GA CDL Passenger Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your GA CDL Passenger exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 228+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under federal CDL rules, what must a Georgia applicant pass to add a Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.Both a passenger knowledge test and a skills test in a passenger vehicle
B.Only a general knowledge retest at DDS
C.Only a medical card review
D.Only an air brakes test
Explanation: FMCSA rules require passenger endorsement applicants to pass passenger-specific knowledge and skills tests. Georgia DDS also states that adding a P endorsement requires knowledge and skills testing, so the endorsement is not added by paperwork alone.
2What Georgia DDS fee applies to a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) knowledge-test permit transaction?
A.$10
B.$5
C.$25
D.$35
Explanation: Georgia DDS lists the CLP fee as $10. Endorsement fees are listed separately, so do not mix the CLP fee with the fee to add an endorsement.
3What Georgia DDS fee is listed for each CDL endorsement, including Passenger when applicable?
A.$15
B.$10
C.$5
D.$50
Explanation: Georgia DDS lists CDL endorsements at $5 each. This is separate from any CLP, license, or other transaction fee that may apply.
4Which Georgia CDL manual sections should a Passenger endorsement applicant study if the bus has air brakes?
A.Only Section 4
B.Sections 2 and 4, plus Section 5 for air brakes
C.Only Section 5
D.Sections 7 and 8
Explanation: The Georgia passenger section directs applicants to study Section 2 and Section 4 for passenger vehicles. If the bus has air brakes, the air brakes material in Section 5 is also needed.
5What minimum score is required on each CDL knowledge test under FMCSA rules?
A.70 percent
B.75 percent
C.80 percent
D.90 percent
Explanation: 49 CFR 383.135 requires at least 80 percent correct on each CDL knowledge test. Georgia administers CDL testing under those federal standards.
6When does a driver generally need a CDL Passenger endorsement?
A.When operating a vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver
B.Only when transporting students to school
C.Only when the vehicle has air brakes
D.Whenever any rider pays a fare
Explanation: The passenger endorsement is tied to a vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver. School bus and air brake requirements are separate issues and may add other tests or restrictions.
7Before driving a passenger vehicle, what should you do with the previous driver's inspection report?
A.Review it and make sure reported defects were repaired or certified as not needing repair
B.Ignore it if the bus starts normally
C.Sign it after the first passenger boards
D.File it only at the end of your shift
Explanation: Passenger vehicle drivers must review the previous inspection report before operating the vehicle. Reported safety defects must be repaired or certified as not needing repair before the driver accepts the vehicle.
8Which items are part of a passenger vehicle's safety-systems inspection?
A.Only the fare box and passenger count
B.Brakes, steering, lights, tires, horn, wipers, mirrors, and emergency equipment
C.Only the paint, decals, and route sign
D.Only the fuel gauge and radio
Explanation: The passenger vehicle inspection includes major safety systems such as brakes, steering, lights, tires, horn, wipers, mirrors, and emergency equipment. These checks help ensure the vehicle is safe before riders are carried.
9What should be true of bus emergency exits before you carry passengers?
A.They should be locked to prevent riders from opening them
B.They should be clearly marked and able to open properly
C.They only need to work on buses used outside city routes
D.They may be blocked if the route is short
Explanation: Passenger vehicle inspections include checking emergency exits, windows, and related warning devices. Exits must be marked and functional because they may be needed quickly during a fire, crash, or rollover.
10Why must aisles and doorways be kept clear on a passenger vehicle?
A.To make fare collection faster
B.To allow passengers to move and exit quickly in normal or emergency conditions
C.To reduce tire wear
D.To make the bus count as a smaller vehicle
Explanation: Aisles and doorways must stay clear so passengers can board, exit, and evacuate without obstruction. Baggage or freight that blocks egress can turn a manageable emergency into a life-threatening one.
