Free NY CDL Passenger Vehicles Practice Test 2024

In New York, to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Passenger (P) endorsement, all drivers must pass both knowledge and skills exams focused on passenger transportation. Before you get to be a taxi driver in one of those famous yellow cabs or drive tourists around Manhattan in one of those Big Bus Tours, you’ll need to prove that you understand what this role implies.

All drivers are responsible for the safety of their passengers, and that responsibility increases with the number of occupants in their vehicle. Learning is the first stage of obtaining your NY Passenger (“P”) endorsement.

You cannot skip it since it is legally required and sets the foundation for your newly acquired skill. Even if you obey the same road rules, there are several differences between commuting to work in your personal vehicle and transporting up to 80 passengers in a large bus.

Luckily, there are plenty of online resources to aid you on this journey. This Passenger Endorsement practice test has 20 questions based on the official 2024 CDL manual (https://driving-tests.org/new-york/ny-cdl-handbook/). It closely reflects the format and content of the actual written knowledge test, featuring multiple-choice questions. Pay attention to and read every question twice since some of them have more than one plausible answer, and you must choose the best answer.

An advanced system records your answers and provides immediate feedback when you submit them. This way, you will receive detailed explanations as the test progresses, allowing you to identify and fix your mistakes. Unlike the official exam, this test does not feature a time limit. Since you won’t be under the pressure of a countdown, you are free to take as long as you want before you continue to the next question.

As you drive your passengers across the country, you may ask yourself if your newly obtained CDL and passenger endorsement are automatically transferable. If you move to another state, your commercial driver’s license does not automatically come with you and you’ll have to apply for a new one from that state. We have an entire library of passenger endorsement practice tests which contains similar practice tests for all 50 US states and Washington, DC.
