Indiana BMV Fee Chart
Indiana Passenger endorsement applicants need passenger knowledge and skills testing, and first-time P endorsement applicants must complete ELDT before the relevant skills test. FMCSA requires at least 80% correct on CDL knowledge tests. Indiana BMV publishes a $19 fee to add or remove a CDL endorsement, but the cited Indiana/FMSCA sources do not publish a fixed Passenger question count or time limit.

1In Indiana, when is a CDL Passenger (P) endorsement required?
A.When driving a commercial motor vehicle designed to carry 16 or more people including the driver
B.Only when the bus is owned by a public transit agency
C.Only when 16 passengers are actually on the vehicle during the trip
D.Whenever a driver carries any paying passenger in any vehicle
Explanation: Indiana BMV and the Indiana CDL Manual tie the Passenger endorsement to a vehicle designed to carry 16 or more people, including the driver. The requirement depends on vehicle design capacity, not the number of riders on a particular trip.
2Which testing requirement applies to an Indiana driver seeking a Passenger endorsement?
A.Only the general knowledge test is required
B.A passenger knowledge test and skills tests in a passenger vehicle are required
C.Only a medical certificate review is required
D.Only an air brakes test is required, even if the bus has hydraulic brakes
Explanation: The Indiana CDL Manual says a bus driver must pass a passenger knowledge test and the skills tests required for the vehicle class. The skills test must be taken in a passenger vehicle appropriate for the endorsement sought.
3Under Indiana BMV guidance, when is Entry-Level Driver Training relevant to a first-time Passenger endorsement applicant?
A.Before the applicant schedules or takes the Passenger endorsement skills test
B.Only after the CDL has already been issued
C.Only if the applicant will drive a school bus
D.Only if the applicant fails the knowledge test twice
Explanation: Indiana BMV states that ELDT applies before skills testing for first-time Passenger endorsements. School bus applicants may have additional requirements, but the Passenger endorsement itself is included in ELDT-triggering first-time endorsement activity.
4How long must an Indiana applicant hold a CLP before taking the CDL skills exam?
A.7 days
B.10 days
C.14 days
D.30 days
Explanation: Indiana BMV says a CDL skills exam may not be taken until the applicant has held the Commercial Learner Permit for 14 days. That waiting period applies before the skills exam, including a passenger vehicle skills exam.
5What does the P restriction mean on an Indiana CLP issued with a Passenger endorsement?
A.The CLP holder may not operate a CMV bus carrying passengers except specified authorized people
B.The CLP holder may carry passengers only on private property
C.The CLP holder may carry passengers only if the bus has seat belts for every rider
D.The CLP holder may carry passengers only during daylight hours
Explanation: The Indiana CDL Manual explains that a CLP with a Passenger endorsement must also carry a P restriction. The restriction prohibits operating a CMV bus carrying passengers except specified people such as test examiners, inspectors, other trainees, and the accompanying CDL holder.
6Which Indiana CDL Manual sections should a Passenger endorsement applicant study?
A.Sections 2 and 4, plus Section 5 if the bus has air brakes
B.Only Section 4 because it is the passenger section
C.Only Section 6 because buses are always combination vehicles
D.Only the hazardous materials section
Explanation: Indiana states that the Passenger knowledge test covers Sections 2 and 4 of the CDL Manual. If the bus has air brakes, the applicant must also pass a knowledge test on Section 5.
7Which emergency equipment should you verify is on a bus before driving?
A.Fire extinguisher, required emergency reflectors, and spare electrical fuses unless the bus has circuit breakers
B.Only a first aid kit and a flashlight
C.Only a spare tire and jack
D.A fire extinguisher only if the trip crosses state lines
Explanation: The Indiana passenger section lists fire extinguisher, emergency reflectors, and spare electrical fuses unless the vehicle has circuit breakers. These items help warn traffic and respond to emergencies before passengers are exposed to greater danger.
8Before signing the previous driver inspection report, what must be true about listed defects?
A.They must be certified as repaired or certified as not needing repair
B.They must be copied into your log without review
C.They must be ignored if the bus starts normally
D.They must be checked only after passengers are loaded
Explanation: The Indiana CDL Manual says to review the previous driver report before driving. You should sign only after earlier defects have been certified as repaired or not needing repair.
9What should you do with open emergency exits or access panels found during the outside bus check?
A.Close them before driving
B.Leave them open for ventilation
C.Close only the panels on the traffic side
D.Drive slowly until maintenance can close them
Explanation: Indiana instructs drivers to close open emergency exits and access panels before driving. Open baggage, restroom-service, engine, or emergency panels can create hazards and indicate the vehicle is not ready for service.
10What is the correct condition for aisles and stairwells before carrying passengers?
A.They should always be clear
B.They may hold bags if passengers can step over them
C.They only need to be clear for interstate trips
D.They may be used for freight if the freight is lightweight
Explanation: Indiana says bus aisles and stairwells should always be clear. Clear walking paths reduce trips and preserve emergency evacuation routes.
