1Under New York CDL-10 Section 4, which vehicle generally requires a Passenger (P) endorsement?
A.A vehicle designed to transport 15 or more adult passengers, excluding the driver
B.Any vehicle carrying more than four paying passengers
C.Only a bus that crosses state lines
D.Only a vehicle with air brakes
Explanation: NY CDL-10 Section 4 says a Passenger endorsement is required for a vehicle designed to transport 15 or more adult passengers, excluding the driver. Interstate operation and air brakes may add other rules, but they are not the basic P endorsement trigger.
2What New York CDL manual section is the main passenger-vehicle study section for this endorsement?
A.Section 4, Transporting Passengers Safely
B.Section 6, Combination Vehicles
C.Section 9, Hazardous Materials
D.Section 13, School Bus Only
Explanation: New York directs bus driver and Passenger endorsement applicants to Section 4, Transporting Passengers Safely. Combination vehicles, hazardous materials, and school bus rules may matter for other credentials, but Section 4 is the passenger-vehicle core.
3How does New York describe the relationship between the School Bus (S) and Passenger (P) endorsements?
A.A school bus driver must already have P or apply for P and S at the same time
B.The S endorsement replaces the P endorsement
C.The P endorsement is needed only for charter buses, not school buses
D.The P endorsement is waived if the school district owns the bus
Explanation: NY DMV says school bus applicants must have a P endorsement before applying for S, or apply for P and S at the same time. School bus authority adds requirements; it does not replace the Passenger endorsement.
4What minimum score does New York CDL-10 list for passing each CDL knowledge test?
A.80%
B.60%
C.70%
D.100%
Explanation: NY CDL-10 states that each commercial driver knowledge test requires an 80% passing score. FMCSA's federal passing standard also requires at least 80% correct on each CDL knowledge test.
5What does NY DMV publish as the CDL permit-test application fee for written knowledge and endorsement tests taken at the same time?
A.$10
B.$5
C.$40
D.$125
Explanation: NY DMV lists a $10 application fee for the CDL permit test process, and that fee allows the applicant to take all written knowledge and endorsement tests taken at the same time. The $40 amount is a road test fee, not the initial written-test application fee.
6What restriction appears on a New York CLP when the permit includes a P or S endorsement?
A.No passengers in a CMV bus
B.No driving during daylight
C.No driving below 45 mph
D.No use of mirrors
Explanation: NY DMV lists the P restriction on a Commercial Learner Permit as no passengers in a CMV bus when the permit includes a P or S endorsement. The restriction is tied to learner-permit operation, not to speed, daylight, or mirrors.
7When does New York require ELDT for a driver seeking a Passenger endorsement for the first time?
A.Before the CDL skills test for the Passenger endorsement
B.Only after the driver fails the written test twice
C.Only after the CDL is already issued
D.Only if the passenger vehicle is privately owned
Explanation: NY DMV states that an entry-level driver attempting a CDL skills test for a first-time Passenger endorsement must complete required ELDT first. The requirement is not triggered only by failed tests, post-issuance status, or private ownership.
8Under FMCSA rules, what testing is required for a Passenger endorsement?
A.Both knowledge and skills testing
B.Only a vision test
C.Only a hazardous materials test
D.No test if the driver has a Class D license
Explanation: FMCSA lists Passenger as an endorsement that requires knowledge and skills testing. A vision test, hazmat test, or ordinary non-CDL license does not replace the passenger endorsement tests.
9In New York CDL endorsement codes, what does the letter P represent?
A.Passenger Transport
B.Parking Brake
C.Private Vehicle
D.Permit Only
Explanation: NY CDL-10 lists P as Passenger Transport. Parking brake, private vehicle, and permit-only status are different concepts and are not the endorsement code meaning.
10Which transportation does NY CDL-10 specifically exclude from the Passenger endorsement requirement?
A.Transporting only members of your family for non-commercial purposes
B.Operating a charter bus for hire
C.Driving an Article 19-A bus
D.Driving a qualifying passenger vehicle over 26,000 pounds in commerce
Explanation: NY CDL-10 says the Passenger endorsement requirement does not apply when you transport only members of your family for non-commercial purposes. The other choices describe passenger operations that can require P under New York rules.
