Maryland Passenger endorsement applicants should study Maryland CDL Manual Section 4 for bus inspection, emergency equipment, baggage, hazardous materials, standee line rules, passenger supervision, railroad crossings, drawbridges, after-trip inspection, prohibited practices, and brake-door interlocks. Maryland MVA requires Passenger knowledge and skills testing, a representative passenger vehicle for skills testing, a 14-day CLP hold before the skills test, and ELDT before skills testing when adding Passenger for the first time.

1Under Maryland MVA guidance, which driver needs the Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.A driver operating a vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers, including the driver
B.Any driver carrying one paying passenger in a personal car
C.Only a driver operating a yellow school bus
D.Only a driver whose bus has air brakes
Explanation: Maryland MVA and the Maryland CDL manual tie the Passenger endorsement to vehicles designed to carry 16 or more people, including the driver. School bus and air brake requirements can add separate testing, but they do not replace the P endorsement rule.
2What testing does 49 CFR 383.93 require for a Passenger endorsement?
A.Both a knowledge test and a skills test
B.Only a knowledge test
C.Only a road test with no written test
D.Only a medical certificate review
Explanation: Federal CDL rules list Passenger as an endorsement requiring both knowledge and skills testing. Maryland MVA also states that the P endorsement requires a Passenger endorsement knowledge and skills test.
3Which Maryland CDL manual sections are named for the Passenger endorsement knowledge test?
A.Sections 2 and 4, plus Section 5 if the bus has air brakes
B.Only Section 1 on CDL basics
C.Only Section 10 on school buses
D.Sections 6 and 7 on combinations and doubles
Explanation: The Maryland CDL manual says the P endorsement knowledge test covers Sections 2 and 4. If the bus has air brakes, the applicant must also pass the knowledge test on Section 5.
4What is the minimum passing score for CDL knowledge tests under 49 CFR 383.135?
A.80 percent correct
B.60 percent correct
C.70 percent correct
D.A score chosen by each carrier
Explanation: Federal rules require a driver applicant to answer at least 80 percent of the questions correctly on each CDL knowledge test. A motor carrier cannot lower that standard for a state-issued CDL endorsement.
5Which endorsements are the only ones allowed on a Commercial Learner's Permit under 49 CFR 383.93?
A.Passenger, School Bus, and Tank Vehicle
B.Passenger, Hazardous Materials, and Doubles/Triples
C.Hazardous Materials, Tank Vehicle, and Doubles/Triples
D.Any endorsement if the applicant pays the fee
Explanation: Federal rules allow only P, S, and N endorsements on a CLP. Hazardous Materials and Doubles/Triples are not CLP endorsements even though they can be CDL endorsements after the required testing.
6Maryland MVA says a CDL applicant must hold a CLP for how long before taking the CDL skills test?
A.At least 14 days
B.At least 24 hours
C.At least 60 days
D.No waiting period if the vehicle is a bus
Explanation: Maryland MVA states that an applicant must obtain a CLP and hold it for at least 14 days before taking the CDL skills test. That timing matters for Passenger endorsement applicants who need a skills test in a representative passenger vehicle.
7Which age statement matches Maryland MVA's CDL passenger guidance?
A.You must be at least 21 to transport passengers
B.You may transport passengers commercially at 16 with a Maryland license
C.The passenger age rule is always 18 for interstate operation
D.Age does not matter if the bus is intrastate
Explanation: Maryland MVA lists 18 for intrastate commercial driving generally, but it separately says drivers must be at least 21 to transport passengers. Passenger operation is one of the areas where the higher age rule matters.
8What does Maryland MVA say about first-time Passenger endorsement applicants and Entry-Level Driver Training?
A.ELDT is required before taking the CDL skills test when adding Passenger for the first time
B.ELDT is never required for a Passenger endorsement
C.ELDT replaces the Maryland knowledge test
D.ELDT is required only for farm vehicle drivers
Explanation: Maryland MVA lists adding Passenger for the first time among the situations requiring ELDT before the CDL skills test. ELDT does not replace knowledge or skills testing; it is an additional training requirement when applicable.
9Which Maryland restriction issue can make a driver ineligible for Passenger or School Bus endorsements?
A.An intrastate waiver
B.A corrective-lenses restriction
C.A duplicate license transaction
D.A hazmat background check receipt
Explanation: Maryland MVA's endorsement FAQ says a driver with an intrastate waiver is not eligible for the Passenger or School Bus endorsements. Other restrictions or transactions may have their own rules, but they are not the stated P/S ineligibility item.
10Which vehicle should be used for a Passenger endorsement skills test under federal rules?
A.A passenger vehicle satisfying the vehicle group requirements for the class sought
B.Any empty straight truck with the same transmission type
C.A private passenger car if it has enough seats
D.A simulator selected by the carrier
Explanation: 49 CFR 383.117 requires a Passenger endorsement skills test in a passenger vehicle that satisfies the applicable vehicle group. Maryland also tells CDL applicants to provide a representative vehicle matching the class and type sought.
