1In Minnesota, which vehicle use triggers the CDL passenger endorsement requirement?
A.Operating a CMV designed or used to carry more than 15 passengers, including the driver
B.Driving any van with more than four paying riders
C.Driving only interstate charter buses, not intrastate buses
D.Operating a bus only when every seat is occupied
Explanation: Minnesota DPS says a CDL is required to carry more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and the Passenger endorsement applies to passenger vehicles. The trigger is the passenger-carrying CMV threshold, not whether the bus is full on a specific trip.
2What must a Minnesota driver pass to upgrade a CDL with the Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.Only a medical card review
B.A written test for the endorsement, and a road test in an appropriate passenger vehicle
C.Only a school bus background check
D.Only a general knowledge retest if the CDL is already issued
Explanation: Minnesota DPS states that each endorsement requires a written test. It also states that adding a passenger endorsement requires a road test in an appropriate vehicle.
3Under FMCSA rules, what tests are required for a CDL Passenger endorsement?
A.A knowledge test only
B.A skills test only
C.A knowledge test and a skills test
D.A hazmat knowledge test and TSA threat assessment
Explanation: 49 CFR 383.93 lists Passenger as an endorsement requiring both knowledge and skills testing. Minnesota follows that structure by requiring a written test and a road test in an appropriate passenger vehicle.
4Which Minnesota CDL restriction means a commercial learner permit holder may not carry passengers in a CMV bus?
A.K
B.P
C.L
D.X
Explanation: Minnesota DPS lists restriction P as "no passenger in CMV bus" for a CLP. That restriction is different from the Passenger endorsement placed on a full CDL.
5Which manual sections should a Minnesota Passenger endorsement applicant study when the bus has air brakes?
A.Sections 2 and 4 only, because air brakes are never tested on buses
B.Sections 2 and 4, plus Section 5 for air brakes
C.Only Section 9, because passengers may have baggage
D.Only Section 10, because every passenger vehicle is a school bus
Explanation: The Minnesota CDL manual says Passenger endorsement applicants need knowledge from Sections 2 and 4. If the bus has air brakes, the applicant must also pass the Section 5 air brakes knowledge test.
6What is the federal passing standard for each CDL knowledge test, including a Passenger endorsement test?
A.60% correct
B.70% correct
C.75% correct
D.80% correct
Explanation: 49 CFR 383.135 requires a driver applicant to answer at least 80 percent of the questions correctly on each knowledge test. The rule applies to CDL knowledge tests, including endorsement knowledge tests.
7Which Minnesota fee is specifically listed for each CDL endorsement examination?
A.$2.50
B.$10
C.$20
D.$50
Explanation: Minnesota DPS lists an examination fee of $2.50 for each endorsement. It separately lists retesting fees for third and subsequent failed tests, so those amounts are not the base endorsement examination fee.
8What extra Minnesota testing step applies when adding a passenger endorsement to an existing CDL?
A.The applicant must apply for a motorcycle instruction permit
B.The applicant must apply for a duplicate license after passing the appropriate tests
C.The applicant must retake the hazmat written test
D.The applicant must surrender all noncommercial driving privileges
Explanation: Minnesota DPS says that to add endorsements to an existing CDL, the driver must pass the appropriate tests and apply for a duplicate license. For passenger, the appropriate tests include the written endorsement test and road test in an appropriate vehicle.
9Which Minnesota restriction means the driver is not valid for a Class A passenger bus?
A.M
B.N
C.W
D.V
Explanation: Minnesota DPS lists restriction M as not valid for a Class A passenger bus. Passenger-bus restrictions can depend on the class and type of vehicle used for testing.
10Which Minnesota restriction means the driver is not valid for buses over 26,000 pounds GVWR?
A.E
B.N
C.O
D.Z
Explanation: Minnesota DPS identifies restriction N as not valid for buses over 26,000 GVWR. This is a passenger-bus restriction that can result from the vehicle class used for testing or licensing.
